I've got a semi-old machine where I just need a newer iproute2 installation, however, I do not need nor (nor really want) to upgrade iptables at this stage. With net-firewall/iptables-1.4.10 installed sys-apps/iproute2-3.8.0 fails to merge, the error as indicated by: m_xt.c: In function 'parse_ipt': m_xt.c:172: warning: passing argument 3 of 'xtables_merge_options' from incompatible pointer type /usr/include/xtables.h:222: note: expected 'unsigned int *' but argument is of type 'const struct option *' m_xt.c:172: error: too many arguments to function 'xtables_merge_options' m_xt.c: In function 'print_ipt': m_xt.c:341: warning: passing argument 3 of 'xtables_merge_options' from incompatible pointer type /usr/include/xtables.h:222: note: expected 'unsigned int *' but argument is of type 'const struct option *' m_xt.c:341: error: too many arguments to function 'xtables_merge_options' After upgrading iptables to version 1.4.16.3 I'm able to merge iproute2-3.8.0.
