One of these causes frequent build failures on x86, on today's -git:

 drivers/net/netxen/netxen_nic_main.c:1189: error: implicit declaration of function 'ipv6_hdr'
 drivers/net/netxen/netxen_nic_main.c:1189: error: invalid type argument of '->'

i suspect the key aspect is:

# CONFIG_IPV6 is not set
