Compiling ebtables statically or dynamically results in different behaviour

Hi,

I have a very strange problem with ebtables. I'm using it on CentOS 5
(2.6.18 kernel) and when using the dynamically compiled version
(version 2.0.8-2) I can't create a new chain. When using the same
version but compiled statically it works. The difference is clearly to
see when using a strace :

Good behavior (statically compiled) :

setsockopt(3, SOL_IP, 0x80 /* IP_??? */,
"filter\0\0\0\352tv;\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0008\2\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 312)
= 0
exit_group(0)                           = ?


Bad behavior (dynamically compiled) :

setsockopt(3, SOL_IP, 0x80 /* IP_??? */,
"filter\0\0\0\352tv;\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0e\3\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 312) =
-1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "The kernel doesn't support a cer"..., 113The kernel doesn't
support a certain ebtables extension, consider recompiling your kernel
or insmod the extension) = 113
write(2, ".\n", 2.
)                      = 2
exit_group(-1)                          = ?

For some reason the one version sets different options then the other.
I've tried different things (compiling against the standard kernel
include files (kernel-devel), compiling against the included include
files, using some gcc options, ...). But none of those worked. Any
hints are appreciated.

Regards,
Tim

Hoping the problem  magically goes away  by ignoring it is the
"microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.
