If IP6_NF_IPTABLES is not set, why would we have to pick
up IPV6 defragmentation?

Without ip6tables, TPROXY cannot be used for ipv6; in fact;
xt_TPROXY should be built without ipv6 support in this case.

My guess is that you have TPROXY=y but DEFRAG_IPV6=m, but that
might warrant a better fix (xt_socket seems to have same issue).
