Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -u net-firewall/iptables
2.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
compiled iptables and installed it

-O2 -mcpu=i686 with
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
 ?!?

please check your system configuration

Looks like a dupe of Bug 32778 to me.

[Comment 3 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2004-03-09 07:53:41 UTC]

This is caused by patches in kernel that are incompatible with iptables. If kernel is patched then iptables needs to be patched too.

What kernel are installed and is Bug 32778 relevant?

I also have the same problem using standard gentoo-sources:

I'm not using the latest kernel in the 2.4 series due to some problems with my NForce2 drivers. This one works, so I'm sticking to it for now.
