[parisc-linux] unaligned access with iptables limit support

[Sonny Cook]

I am trying to set up my b132l as a firewall.  So I compiled up iptables
as kernel modules and tried running my favorite firewall script.  It uses
limit support to keep my logs from overflowing.  At any rate when I try to
enter a rule using limits like so:

iptables -t filter -A LDROP -p tcp -m limit --limit 2/s -j LOG --log-level
info --lo g-prefix "TCP Dropped "

I get this on the console:

iptables(428): unaligned access to 0x4020d0cf at ip=0x401fc767
iptables(428): unaligned access to 0x4020d0d3 at ip=0x401fc76f

The module ipt_limit.o does not get loaded by the kernel autoloader.  Is
supsect the bug is with the iptables program.  I downloaded the source for
the latest version and in attempting to compile it got a linker error.

ld -shared -o extensions/libipt_limit.so extensions/libipt_limit_sh.o
ld: BFD internal error, aborting at ../../bfd/elf32-hppa.c line 939 in
hppa_build_one_stub

ld: Please report this bug.

make: *** [extensions/libipt_limit.so] Error 1

The debian version is 1.2.2 and the downloaded source is 1.2.3.  Has
anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks,
Sonny
