OK, so it thinks libpcap has pcap_list_datalinks()...

...and it even defines HAVE_PCAP_LIST_DATALINKS as 1, meaning it 
*knows* it thinks that...

...and it even doesn't seem to think that it needs to use "datalinks.o" 
(which contains an implementation of "pcap_list_datalinks()" to use if 
libpcap doesn't have it).

However, if it's getting a duplicate definition of 
"pcap_list_datalinks()", it's apparently linking with it anyway.

What is LIBOBJS defined as in the top-level Makefile?  If it's defined 
as anything that includes "datalinks.o", try doing a "make distclean", 
re-running configure, and trying again.
