just now as an IRC user posted about a compilation error, the only
situation that I could think of to load to this error was a missing
kernel source tree.
Since many Xtables header files are copied to the iptables source tree,
yet `make KERNEL_DIR=somethinginvalid` gives a compiler error because it
cannot find <linux/compiler.h> (required by ip_tables.h).
I wonder why recent (at least, Fedora Core 7) distributed kernel header
package for user programs does not include /usr/include/linux/compiler.h .
Debian doesn't have it either.
So I wonder, do we actually support building iptables without a
kernel source tree?
I prefer to keep people easy to try newer iptables as possible.
We can add include/linux/compiler.h to iptables or remove __user, etc. from
headers of iptables.
Or simply define the missing annotations in xtables.h.
