I already compiled and posted it last week and asked in a recent post 
whether it worked for you.  Did you need other modules or built-in support 
for anything related?  Read the kernel Documentation/Configure.help
CONFIG_IP_NF_*

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/ip_tables.o

Also do some online research.  Maybe you also need other modules:
iptable_nat
ip_nat_ftp
ipt_LOG
ipt_mac
ipt_state
ipt_MASQUERADE
ip_conntrack
ip_conntrack_ftp

Search on these error messages for hints on what went wrong or is missing.

Did you upgrade all the other packages used for compiling, not just glibc 
and gcc?  I listed them in another post.
