Because you recompiled kernel with "CONFIG_IP_FORWARD". Routers must ignore redirects.
If you really want make "toy" router sensing redirects, define "CONFIG_IP_DUMB_ROUTER". But remember, it is just toy. If some host on the net really depends on correct functionality of your router, you must disable "CONFIG_IP_DUMB_ROUTER" and run gated.
