Denis appears to have fixed that with

make OpenSSL-specific tests conditional
That still leaves the NFLOG tests; that requires looking for DLT_NFLOG in the
version of libpcap being used to build tcpdump, which would be a bit more work.
An alternative might be to have the configure script run a test for DLT_NFLOG
and somehow do something to make "make check" skip the NFLOG test. A
generalization might be to have some support for "if ... end" in the
tests/TESTLIST file, with the tests checking some name specified in a file, and
have the configure script add entries to that file as necessary.
