I extracted the kernel and did make menuconfig, saving the configuration.
Then I applied the ebtables patch, no errors; but make menuconfig failed
the second time. :-\

$ make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/ram/linux-2.4.20/scripts/lxdialog'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/ram/linux-2.4.20/scripts/lxdialog'

fault      awk "$1"
Awk died with error code 139. Giving up.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

For kicks I tried applying both patches after a successful vanilla make
menuconfig and got the exact same results. I'm guessing there is a
problem with the ebtables patch net/Makefile but don't know enough to
comment on the diffs.

linux-2.4.20/net/Makefile
linux-2.4.20/net/Config.in
linux-2.4.20-patch/net/bridge/netfilter/Makefile
linux-2.4.20-patch/net/bridge/netfilter/Config.in

I'm able to build a kernel with just the bridge patch, no problem...
