Kernel compile error with ROUTE-ipv6 patch

Kernel compile error with ROUTE-ipv6 patch

[Internet Protocol version Six]

Hi all, I get an error with ROUTE-ipv6 enabled:

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

If I disable this in menuconfig and then recompile, it compiles fine
so it must be ROUTE-ipv6 that's causing this. How can I get this to
compile? What lines or anything do I need to add or change? As I
might need this for ipv6 source-based routing and stuff like that.
The kernel, as you can see, is 2.4.23-pre8.

Thanks in advance.

The only possible reason I see is that you probably compiled the
IP6 tables support as a module while the IPv6 ROUTE target
is (and must be) statically compiled inside the kernel.

The solution could be to simply say 'Y' instead of 'M' for the
IP6 tables support.
