You can't Stephen, ipv6_dev_get_saddr() requires access to the actual ipv6
device state, that means you have to pull in the entire ipv6 stack in because
there are dependencies all the way down into the routing code.
We added a Kconfig fix to cure this specific problem, which made it
into 2.6.38-final, so I don't understand why Jan is even seeing this,
it's supposed to force BRIDGE modular if IPV6 is modular:

net: bridge builtin vs. ipv6 modular
When configs BRIDGE=y and IPV6=m, this build error occurs:
br_multicast.c:(.text+0xa3341): undefined reference to `ipv6_dev_get_saddr'
BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING is boolean; if it were tristate, then adding
depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
to BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING would be a good fix. As it is currently,
making BRIDGE depend on the IPV6 config works.
