Just installed a brand new Slackware 9.1 and thought it would be nice to run the latest of everything.
I ran:
make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux
Making dependencies: please wait...

I have replaced both the ipv4/iptables.h and the ipv6/iptables.h files with those from the kernel 2.4.22 and then all went fine. IMHO this shouldn't happen.
I got the kernel 2.6.7 from kernel.org and not from slackware..
Should I file a bug report for this or is it just a stupid user (or compiler) error..
