That's ok...

Ok, clear.

Yes, I know that. Actually it was supposed to work on i386, but now that it 
doesn't I should mark that as "BROKEN" on i386.

The pcap code is correct for both cases.

I guess you've been in a hurry - on i386 likely you don't have libpcap-devel 
(or such) installed (you also need libpcap.a), on x86_64 those 
"errors" (since it builds) are warnings - even if it's a statically linked 
binary it can't run standalone, because it needs NSS which can't be 
statically linked (those libraries are loaded with dlopen()).

Obviously, I don't know what happened actually because you don't tell it, I 
guessed the most likely causes.
