--- Comment #4 from Neil MacLeod <busybox at nmacleod.com> ---
Alternatively the problem might here:

https://github.com/mirror/busybox/commit/ce4bc1ed048233e89ee4cb95830bf6f01d523d1e#diff-17b20e94edc19bc0556a07b3f860041eR484

Using the example "route add" commands, in the "if (!scope_ok) {" block
req.r.rtm_type is RTN_UNICAST while req.r.rtm_scope is RT_SCOPE_NOWHERE, which
means the code falls through to
https://github.com/mirror/busybox/commit/ce4bc1ed048233e89ee4cb95830bf6f01d523d1e#diff-17b20e94edc19bc0556a07b3f860041eR497
which fails as "(!(ok & gw_ok))" is not true, so req.r.rtm_scope remains set to
RT_SCOPE_NOWHERE.

The following patch works for me, I've but no idea if this is what is needed
for others.
