The above are normal.  Why do you think you need all the above anyway? 
Thought you just needed iplimit, no _everything_ (and everything won't
compile).

either you ran out of space in you /tmp partition or your
iptables-1.2.6a/, linux/ (and from the looks of it /tmp) are not all on
the same partition.  The above is a hard link error message.

the patch-o-matic works by making a copy of a portion of your kernel tree,
applying the patch (actually trying to reverse the patch), to see if it
can apply it without hosing your kernel tree.  If so, it does.  

BTW, in either 1.2.5 or 1.2.6a, Rusty introduced the ability to back out
patches.  I suggest you back out those patches you don't need, they may
prevent iplimit from compiling.
