List,
last week I ran into this issue once but could not reproduce afterwards. My
guess is this error is specific to non-straightforward builds of libpcap and/or
leftovers across multiple build attempts.
It happened once as follows (please note Sabotage uses musl instead of glibc
and libnetlink-tiny instead of libnetlink):
# (at a Linux host)
wget

VirtualBox & # add a new x86_64 VM using the .vdi disk image and powered it on
# (inside VM as root)
adduser tcpdump
passwd tcpdump
# (inside VM as tcpdump)
git clone git://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap.git
git clone git://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump.git
Then I tried to compile libpcap without and with ("butch install autoconf" as
root) autoconf, without and with .devel, without and with the following hacks:

The configure call evolved over time and became the following:
CFLAGS=`-I/usr/include/libnl-tiny` \
LDFLAGS=`pkg-config --libs-only-L libnl-tiny` \
LIBS=`pkg-config --libs-only-l libnl-tiny` \
./configure
Eventually libpcap built OK (may be on 10th attempt), I ran ./configure in
../tcpdump and observed the "Report this to tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org"
boilerplate. A few more "make clean all" passes in libpcap directory later I
checked again on the tcpdump side and the issue had vanished.
