Two different people suggested two different approaches:

>Or compile the kernel with the "ipforwarding" variable turned off, eh? 

Then it would not be a gateway.

>[do not run a routing daemon, or make it not advertise the gateway]

This does not stop source-routed packets, but may suffice.

I sent a kernel hack (read: kludge) to the original querent.
