We noticed this problem after upgrading to a newer buildroot version a
few releases back (but never sent that patch to buildroot until now).
We are not using a static build, nor did we make changes to
iptables.mk here.
I don't really know why the author of the patch mentioned static in
the commit message. Maybe he is not referring to 'static' in the sense
that Buildroot does.

Anyway, we were thus seeing this message with standard iptables calls
on a standard system.
