Setup environment to build for target per section I.5 of the Gentoo Embedded handbook (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=1&chap=5) 3. emerge ebtables Actual Results: Linking using the host's native linker (ld) failed, and so did the build.

Thanks for the fix; assigning to maintainer
Thank you for report Suertreus. I've fixed this in a bit different way: 1. Use gcc for linking as it supplies additional required libraries to linker 2. Make build process respect LDFLAGS Fixed in ebtables-2.0.8.2-r1.
