 The bugs are that /usr/src/lib/libpcap/Makefile puts `-Dlint' in CFLAGS,
 and endian.h has broken ifdefs involving lint in -current (was broken
 in rev.1.14).  The Makefile has excessive -Wall flags and -Dlint is a
 wrong fix for them.  The Makefile also has bogus -I flags.  There are
 no sources in ${.CURDIR} except when ${.CURDIR} is the object directory,
 and this case is handled by `-I.'.  The sources are in ${PCAP_DISTDIR},
 etc.

 You have to compile with the same CFLAGS as the Makefile to see the problem.
 CFLAGS is too long to type for contrib'ed sources :-(.
 
 I will fix endian.h.
