I've tried it like this now:

          Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
          through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related

and that resulted in a new build failure:

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.o:(.rodata+0x788): undefined
reference to `nf_conntrack_l4proto_icmpv6'
net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.o: In function `nf_ct_frag6_expire':

I don't think we can get CONFIG_NF_DEFRAG_IPV6=y to work with IPV6=m.
