By telling Red Hat support that there's a GCC bug that causes it to get
a SIGSEGV ("signal 11") when it compiles the "libpcap.c" file from
Ethereal 0.8.10, and asking them if there's a fix to GCC that makes it
not get a SIGSEGV.

(I'm assuming here that you're using the compiler that came with Red
Hat, rather than a version that somebody else installed on the machine; 
I don't know what the right way to be would be to determine that if you
don't already know whether that's the case.  If you are running some
other version of GCC, contact whoever you got that version from.)
