I finally found out how to do it (RTFMing really does work). In my
/usr/src/libpcap-0.6.2/ dir, i did
ld -o libpcap.so -shared *.o
and that produced what appears to be a working .so libpcap (as in, my
program didn't horribly complain when i started it and it appears to be
working perfectly)
I wrote a patch against the configure script and Makefile.in for
libpcap-0.6.2, which is attached to this message if anyone wants it.
