>Description:
The variable esp_algorithms is used by IPsec, but it is declared in
some IPv6 code, therefore, it appears to be the case that you cannot
straightforwardly build a kernel which supports IPsec but not IPv6.
I believe that there were one or two other symbols which also cause problems,
but I don't have the output from the compiler conviniently available at
this point. Someone should really actually build a kernel with IPsec
and no IPv6 to make sure that this is fixed.
