>Description:
Install step for net/libpcap (libpcap-0.9.7) on MacOS X fails as follows:

[...]
=> Unwrapping files-to-be-installed.
===> Installing for libpcap-0.9.7
=> Becoming ``root'' to make su-install-all (/usr/bin/sudo)
libtool  --mode=compile gcc -O2 -fno-common -pipe -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -no-cpp-precomp -L/usr/pkg/lib -o ./VERSION ./VERSION.c

>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to build net/libpcap on MacOS X 10.4.10 (other platforms?)
either separately or as dependency of other package.
>Fix:
No clue.  More libtool oddities?  It worked fine in pkgsrc-2007Q2.
