A build without ipv6 works just fine, as suggested by the missing symbols.  The missing symbols are declared in a header file in the iptables source, but not defined.  Perhaps there's a missing dependency here?  I'm fairly clueless about the whole thing.

[Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2008-08-28 07:45:53 UTC]

Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.

ugh! It works fine now.  I haven't re-sync'd portage since then, but I did compile iptables with USE=-ipv6 just to get the rest of my 'emerge world' finished.  The packages built in the interim are:

none of which seems a likely candidate for changing the way iptables would build (gcc, glib, or kernel headers would raise my suspicion, but I don't see them here).

I'm closing as WORKSFORME.  If there's some hidden dependency you'd like me to dig for, though, please reopen and post more instructions.
