Update.

Failing of make I solved by using --disable-more-warnings with ./configure. So now everything is built 
without errors. Unfortunately starting of NetworkManager still fails even with different netlink library 
(libnl-3.2.21).

[...cut...]
NetworkManager[1948]: <warn> Failed to connect to netlink: (4) unable to allocate netlink link cache for 
monitoring link status: Operation not supported
