Someone reported on GitHub that the YNL NIPA test is failing
when run locally. The test builds the tools, and it hits:

  netdev.c:82:9: warning: ignoring return value of ‘scanf’ declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’ [-Wunused-result]
  82 | scanf("%d", &ifindex);

I can't repro this on my setups but error seems clear enough.
