Hello!
About all I can state here is an "Umph!" sound. I see your point. At
one point I was grabbing the latest libpcap from their site if it was
not in the Slackware-current space and building everything in much the
same fashion. Except I left it as is and didn't bother with the
-static idea for everything.

And aren't the filename.a libraries static linked libraries of the
regular Linux libraries? With the corollary that the filename.so
libraries the regular ones.
