You are right, I tried a ./configure without a "make distclean" because
I was not looking for building binaries. I suppose it was not really
important. The output now is:
checking for u_int8_t using cc... no
checking for u_int16_t using cc... no
checking for u_int32_t using cc... no
The header file /usr/include/sys/_inttypes.h defines 8-bit, 16-bit
and 32-bit unsigned integers but the typedefs are uint8_t, uint16_t
and uint32_t, not u_int8_t, u_int16_t and u_int32_t. The SPARC
workstation where I am working now defines both sets.

You are right, I tried to build libpcap in that server yesterday and
I do not try a "make distclean" before running the configuration script
today.
Thanks a lot!
