I have the same problem, and just now discovered that I didn't config my
2.2.14 kernel with CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MOD.

So, I just set this flag and re-compiled the kernel, only to find that
ip_masq_app.c was still not compiled because, I think, this in file
net/ipv4/.depend:

   $(wildcard /usr/src/linux/include/config/ip/masq/debug.h)
ip_masq_ftp.o: \

That debug.h file doesn't exist.

I've just installed and am about to build the potato
kernel-source-2.2.17_2.2.17pre6-1.deb package.

Anybody have any comments about this?
