Hello, this is my first time posting here, so throw me a little slack if you could, please.
I am attempting to get my build of Linux From Scratch (Systemd Edition, I used the development snapshot from 03/04/2016) working for a school project I am doing. While it currently boots up perfectly, I am having trouble connecting to the internet. I typically use the ConnMan program to control my internet connections (I use Arch Linux mainly), so I am attempting to build it from source code. Via its
Arch Linux package page I found its dependencies, and installed them as explained in the Beyond Linux From Scratch (also Systemd edition, but from 03/22/2016 I believe) book. So I installed glib-2.48, GNUtls-3.3.22, and iptables 1.6.0 all as described in the Beyond Linux From Scratch book. I also installed wpa_supplicant as the BLFS book explains, in case I want to connect wirelessly at some point.
While building ConnMan using the basic "./configure, make, make install" process, I get a bunch of errors. So here are the outputs of the configure and make processes. Configure seems to work fine, but the build completely fails.

It seems pretty obvious that iptables is the issue, but I have no idea how to fix it. Other than what I specify in the note below, I installed iptables just as the BLFS book explains. If someone could lead me in the right direction as to what I should rebuild, that would be great. I like ConnMan because it has very few dependencies, and it allows me to connect through ethernet or wireless seamlessly. So I would prefer a way to build it properly, rather than suggestions as to other programs I should/could use, please. Lastly, if you would like any information regarding my system, just give me some commands to run and I will show you their output. THANKS.
Note: iptables 1.6.0 doesn't say anywhere that it has any real dependencies other than glib-c or whatever. But while building I got errors about not having libnftnl, which also requires libmnl. So I installed the latest versions of those just using the basic "./configure --prefix=/usr, make, make install" process. This could be related to the issue, but I would need verification on this. iptables seemed to build fine.
