got it, we have to set the scope to RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE, there's an XXX in
libnl:
/* XXX Change to UNIVERSE if gw || nexthops */

so I should add rtnl_route_set_scope(route, RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE); to all
patches that add a route with a gateway.

Should I resend them ? (or preferably fix libnl first ?)

Benoit
