The comment in your change says

            # We have pcap-config; we assume that means we have libpcap
            # installed and that pcap-config will tell us whatever
            # libraries libpcap needs.

As the creator of pcap-config, I can state unequivocally that if that 
assumption is incorrect, that would indicate that the pcap-config on the 
machine in question is buggy.  Whether the bug is the fault of tcpdump.org or 
of the platform on the machine is another matter.

Anders, what does running

        pcap-config --libs

and

        pcap-config --libs --static

on the SuSE and Ubuntu machines print?

On SuSE:
> pcap-config --libs
If 'pcap-config' is not a typo you can run the following command to lookup the 
package that contains the binary:
    command-not-found pcap-config


On Ubuntu 14.04
$ pcap-config --libs
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu  -lpcap

$ pcap-config --libs --static
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lpcap


Regards
Anders
