Hm... You don't mention which version of the ELDk you are using, but
given the fact that you are using very old (read: hopelessly obsolete)
versions of U-Boot and Linux, you are probably using an old ELDK
version as well?

I recommend you just install a recent version (release 4.2) of the
ELDK; this already contains the iptables package, so there is no need
to build anything.

But again: I strongly recommend to update both U-Boot and Linux as
well. [You will need a 2.6 Linux kernel for ELDK 4.2].

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
