I don't know if that is related but a different way to trigger this failure on Solaris/SPARC is to compile libpcap in 64-bit mode and then to try compiling tcpdump in default 32-bit mode. The configure script will fail with the message and the log file will contain: configure:5774: checking for local pcap library configure:5983: result: ./../libpcap/libpcap.a configure:5987: checking for pcap-config configure:6005: found ./../libpcap/pcap-config configure:6017: result: ./../libpcap/pcap-config configure:6079: checking for pcap_loop configure:6079: gcc -o conftest -DINET6 -I/usr/inet6/include -g -O2 conftest.c ./../libpcap/libpcap.a -lsocket -lnsl -lsocket -lnsl -lsmi >&5 ld: warning: file ./../libpcap/libpcap.a(pcap.o): wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Undefined first referenced symbol in file pcap_loop /var/tmp//cc63sAMt.o ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors.
