Thanks!

The problem is the following (found both in Amit's and Mirko's logs):

I'm not sure how to solve that and I get the impression that this might
have to be handled differently on different Linux distributions (it
worked fine on Debian Sid). I currently don't have the time to dig into
that any further. For now, an (ugly) work-around should be to put
"-DHAVE_IPTC_HANDLE_T -DHAVE_IP6TC_HANDLE_T" in CFLAGS (but make sure
you really use the shipped libiptc).

It looks like the unconditional inclusion of <linux/types.h> in
src/owniptc/libiptc.h should be changed (similar to how it's done in
src/owniptc/ipt_kernel_headers.h - both files were copied from the
iptables sources). Possibly updating the shipped copy of libiptc might
do it.

Cheers,
Sebastian
