  I expect it will be one of the *.la files in wireshark itself. Or it 
could be one of the -lfoo link arguments - IIRC, libtool hard-codes 
searching in /usr/lib for libraries.

  Looking a bit more in detail, I see that autoconf's AC_PROG_LIBTOOL 
expands into a hard-coded
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib /usr/lib \$lt_ld_extra"

(sys_lib_search_path_spec is computed based on the compiler's search 
path.) So we actually risk running into this problem for any 
libtool-based package... Maybe we should globally patch the configure 
scripts to make sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec empty.

  But anyway, Stefan, for wireshark you should try to find out which host 
library is found by configure. Because making sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec 
empty would just change the error into a slightly better 'cannot find -lfoo'.

  Regards,
  Arnout
