a fix for iptables build script

When kernel-reqs launches iptables rebuild after kernel update, the iptables 
module is built using includes from previous kernel. Just look at compile log 
of iptables to find evidence. This patch makes iptables always compiled using 
current kernel includes.

Example. If you updated kernel recently to 2.6.20 (and kernel-reqs lunched 
iptables rebuild later) the compilation log of iptables will show include 
path of 2.6.19.2 kernel (or older if machine was 
not updated frequently) - not 2.6.20 headers.

BTW: there is official 2.6.20.1 patch on www.kernel.org

have a nice day,
