Troubles with aliased interfaces

The main problem is that any Linux kernel newer than 2.0.x doesn't have ANY
interface aliases. The kernel supports secondary addresses of interfaces
and for ancient tools like ifconfig they are emulated as interface aliases,
but it's just an emulation. BIRD sees secondary addresses as secondary
addresses.
