I am unable to emerge -u iptables-1.2.7a-r3. When I attempt to upgrade I get errors which complain about CONFIG_JIFFIES being undeclared, which lead me to believe there was somethign screwy going on with my kernel configuration, but I've checked and double checked my config, and recompiled with no effect.

a newer version of iptables showed up, and that worked.. so I'm not too bothered by this problem any more.
