You likely won't be able to compile most anything on this system - it
appears to be missing standard kernel headers. Install kernel-headers
package first.
Or as simpler fix you can use the kernel source itself, this means you
have to change the /usr/src/linux symbolic link to point to the actual
kernel source tree you are building.

You know you need special patches on top of regular kernels to run them
on ARM processors, right? Also all of the 2.4 kernels on netwinder.org
incldue iptables support already. Not sure about bridging (can't
remember, check the arch/arm/def-configs/netwinder file).
