Thanks for your report Ingo.

Patrick, I'm not so sure how to fix this, or even what's wrong.

NF_NAT_PROTO_SCTP does a proper select on LIBCRC32C, but somehow
NF_NAT_PROTO_SCTP=y and LIBCRC32C=m.

I notice that IP_SCTP=m in this config.  So perhaps the issue is the
case where two features do a select on an infrastructure config
option.  Maybe whoever does the last 'select' gets to decide if the
option gets set to 'y' or 'm'?

It's just a guess, as I still for the life of me can't figure out
how these dependencies get sorted by the kbuild system in situations
like this.
