[oe] Problem of libpcap

Fri Jul 16 16:25:31 UTC 2010

Mine is building fine here are the files incase you are using a older
pull of OE which it looks like you might be. I attacked all the
patches for it as well. Hope this helps you out. I have noticed there
are a bunch that are not building and or are WAY WAY out of date.
