Re: IPTables 1.3.0 on RaQ2

[Jim Gifford <maillist@jg555.com>]

I solved the issue, it does happen with 1.3.1 also, the problem is the 
headers, even after fixed the headers it still bombed. Here is the 
message I posted on linux-mips list.

I found the culprit, but don't know what the proper fix is.

File - What to remove or comment out
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/cpu-features.h - #include 
<cpu-feature-overrides.h>
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/addrspace.h -  #include <spaces.h>

But it still fails, because it looks at the headers in /usr/include and 
the ones is /usr/src/linux/include, which is what the problem is. Namely 
socket.h, it tries to include both versions.

What I noticed is some of the mips architectures includes have these 
files and some do not.

A workaround for those who use the linux-libc-headers to build iptables 
with the following commands, but I would still comment out those files 
to prevent other build issues later

make KERNEL_DIR=/usr

But I'm not sure of the stability and the functionality.
