    after compiling a vanilla kernel, i could successfully compile 
xtables-addons 1.14 on CentOS 5.3 x86_64 box.

    Jan .... what do you thinkg about changing the warning

echo "WARNING: This distribution is not officially supported.";

    to something like:

echo "WARNING: This distribution is not officially supported when using 
CentOS/RHEL supplied kernel.";
echo "When using a kernel compiled from scratch, from official kernel 
sources (not CentOS/RHEL ones),"
echo "xtables-addons can be compiled and works fine."

    it would be more useful than simply 'not supported' ......

    i dont know if that would be necessary, but i uninstalled supplied 
iptables as well and installed from sources. So i have successfully:


[root@centos53 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS  release  5.3  (Final)

[root@centos53 ~]# iptables --version    
iptables  v1.4.3.2

[root@centos53 ~]# uname -a
Linux centos53  2.6.29.1-grsec  #1  SMP  Mon  Apr  27  16:30:29  BRT  
2009  x86_64  x86_64  x86_64  GNU/Linux
[root@centos53 ~]#

and xtables-addons 1.14
