Hi Pablo,

Maybe something got mixed up here somehow.
It seems that on x86_64 allmodconfig bind is not defined here.

gcc says:

 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c: In function 'nft_chain_trans_bind':
 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:214:63: error: 'bind' undeclared (first use in this function)
   214 |                                 nft_trans_rule_bound(trans) = bind;
       |                                                               ^~~~
 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:214:63: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
