As the message tells you, you have to configure your kernel accordingly.
Why? Ipset works without any problems with non-modular kernels and I see no reason to force modular configuration.
"Working" doesn't mean it compiles, but maybe it's really a bug, forwarding you to the maintainers
Krzysztof: give me a patch then that detects a non-modular kernel and only builds userspace instead of the kernel modules as well.
Created attachment 167377 [details, diff] Detect non-modular kernel and don't build modules
