Sounds like libtool brokenness of some sort.  "docsis" isn't a shared
library, even though it's a shared object - "docsis.so" is a
run-time-loaded plugin dissector, and the linker shouldn't be trying to
do something stooopid such as linking with it at compile time

I have no idea why that's happening, or how to fix it.
