Description James Limbouris 2012-06-18 02:25:57 UTC

The makefile for ppp manually checks for the presence of a header on the host when determining whether or not to build filter support, using libpcap. This host reference should be removed in the same way that a similar reference is removed in makefile-remove-hard-usr-reference.patch, to ensure that the build is deterministic.
