For EPEL, I only can depend on packages in RHEL itself (or in EPEL).

let's the build succeed. As there is no MPLS support in CentOS/RHEL 7...do
you treat reverting this commit only for this build target as very risky or
problematic (without an in-depth analysis, just from your feeling)? As of
writing, BIRD 2.13.1 works on the stock CentOS/RHEL 7 kernel (at least for
a simple BGP setup).
