Build Information:
Irrelevant.
This is an issue with the autotools build system shipped in the wireshark
source release archives of wireshark 2.0.5 and all older versions, and does not
affect people directly using git, or using prebuilt binaries.
--
Wireshark 2.0.5 bundles (inside of its aclocal.m4) and old version of libtool
from 2011 (possibly version 2.4.2, which was released in that year).
The current version of libtool is 2.4.6, released in Februrary 2015. It fixes
many important bugs. One of them is an incorrect regex, which causes libtool to
identify Mac OS X 10.10 and later as 10.1 -- it then uses linker flags suitable
for that ancient version of OS X.
To fix this, one needs to install libtool 2.4.6 on the machine used to generate
the wireshark release archives, and on which the autogen.sh is run.
