It says, in a comment you added to configure.in:
+ # Due to a gcc bug (6619485), the default search path for 32-bit
+ # libraries does not include /lib, we add it explicitly here.
+ # Also, due to the bug above applications that link to libpcap with
+ # libdlpi will have to add "-L/lib" option to "configure".
(Is 6619485 a GCC Bugzilla bug number? I don't see it on
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla.)
If applications have to add that flag, tcpdump's configure script
should probably check to see whether it needs to link with -L/lib in
order to link with libpcap; tcpdump is not necessarily linked with ../
libpcap-XXX/libpcap.a - somebody might be building tcpdump on a system
that comes with libpcap, and be linking with the system libpcap.
Putting that in there also provides a template that other applications
can use in their configure scripts, if they're using autoconf.
