 These two mails didn't make it to gnats. (If replying to yourself,
 please double-check the send address and set it to gnats-bugs; at
 least mutt and probably other mailers do the wrong thing by default.)

 Ok, in addition to removing the dlpisubs.c removal from configure, can you
 also add:
 
   CONFIGURE_ENV+=      ac_cv_func_getifaddrs=no
 
 to Makefile and try that?  This is enough to get it working again on
 SmartOS.
 
 The problem is that dlpisubs.c is only activated if getifaddrs() is
 missing, which is not the case on newer Solaris.  This is a bit of a hack,
 but a proper fix for the configure script would be a lot more work.
 
 Thanks,

 libpcap.so still includes the necessary functions:
 
 $ nm ./work.pkgsrc-i86/libpcap-1.4.0/.libs/libpcap.so | grep
 pcap_conf_bufmod
 [309]   |    105276|     401|FUNC |GLOB |0    |12     |pcap_conf_bufmod
 
 and net/tcpdump does compile. Looks good to me.
