Ah.. 'extra kernels' should have been 'extra modules'

If thats the case - mostlikely Netfilter hasn't updated their
makefiles to use the proper kernelbuild env.

If it really needs the sources [aka modify them] - then I would think
its more of a patch - hence needs a kernel rebuild [i.e this isn't
building extra modules]

[personally - I don'k know anything about Netfilter]
