I guess it was an oversight on the part of the glibc developers - kernel
2.1.130 still has an <linux/ip_fw.h> header file but we can't include
<linux/*> under glibc - so this glibc header file is needed to get everything
from <linux/ip_fw.h>.

Anyway, I only needed this #include lines from <netinet/ip_fw.h> - so I placed
them directly in netload.c:

#include <netinet/ip_icmp.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/ip.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <netinet/udp.h>
#include <net/if.h>

Just update your LibGTop - it should work not.

However, if your glibc misses any of the following you should probably report
this as a bug to the glibc maintainers and/or downgrade to a stable version:

#include <netinet/ip_icmp.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/ip.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <netinet/udp.h>
#include <net/if.h>
