[oe] tcpdump: bitbake throws autoconf errors, error message confusing

[Jack Mitchell]

Hi Robert,

After further investigation that is also what I found, and why it's so
confusing. The different tcpdump is because I uprevved to the latest
version locally to see if it fixed the issue ;)

I'll see if I can figure out why the class if flagging it as bad when it
shouldn't.
