Hello,

While building libpcap and tcpdump on Pyro, I noticed something in 
libpcap/Makefile.in; You're using hard links, and absolute paths.

Hardlinks: This may work well on most systems, but our native filesystem 
doesn't support hardlinks, so it would really be appreciated, if it was changed 
to symlinks. You already use symlinks in other places.

Absolute paths: This may work well, if every individual users builds it, and 
installs directly to the location in which they want it. I do, however, feel it 
would be nice to have relative paths, so the package can be moved around. You 
already use relative paths in other places.

As the mentioned issues are only affect the man(3) pages, the suggested changes 
shouldn't cause any unforeseen problems.

I hope you will take my suggestions under advisement. Patch attached.


Best regards
