They are two separate options.

--with-libpcap is defined in nmap/configure.ac. It controls where to
look for a libpcap installation. It expects a directory.

--with-pcap is defined in nmap/libpcap/configure.in. It controls which
capture engine is built into libpcap. It expects a string like "bpf",
"pf", "linux", or "dlpi".

You probably have to find a way to force --with-pcap=linux (in the
configuration step for libpcap, not for Nmap) when you are
cross-compiling.
