           Summary: Compile of iptables 1.4.2 with testing Linux kernel
                    2.6.29-rc2 fails - workaround included
           Product: iptables
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Gentoo
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: iptables
        AssignedTo: laforge at netfilter.org
        ReportedBy: jrut at spamcop.net


On a Gentoo Linux distribution with gcc version 4.3.2 against testing Linux
kernel 2.6.29-rc2, I have encountered the following message:
---------
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/iptables-1.4.2'
  GEN      initext4.c
  CC       initext4.o

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/iptables-1.4.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2
-----------
Editing line 516 in linux-2.6.29-rc2/include/linux/pkt_sched.h to change 'u32'
to '__u32' allows the compile to proceed OK to completion.  I do not know if
the problem should be reported to you or to the kernel people.
Thank you very much for your efforts on behalf of iptables.
