[uClibc]tcpdump-3.6.2

[trevor]

in case anyone's interested in tcpdump, here's what i did to get it to 
compile against uClibc-0.9.11. note: it's rather large, on my system the 
executable is roughly 400KB. libpcap is listed in the "known applications" 
list, but tcpdump isn't (or at least a "find" on that page didn't return it).

the tcpdump and libpcap sources can be found at "http://www.tcpdump.org". i 
created a directory "tcpdump" and extracted both libpcap and tcpdump at that 
location.

extract, "./configure", and "make" libpcap-0.6.2. you don't have to install 
it; for me, the configure and build of tcpdump found it.

extract tcpdump-3.6.2. delete the file "configure". apply the patch found 
below. then run the command "autoconf" (this generates a "configure" script 
for you). i then did a "./configure --without-crypto" (since i don't have 
openssl on my embedded system), then a "make".

hope this helps.
