This fixes the following security problem:
The command-line argument parser in tcpdump before 4.99.0 has a buffer
overflow in tcpdump.c:read_infile(). To trigger this vulnerability the
attacker needs to create a 4GB file on the local filesystem and to
specify the file name as the value of the -F command-line argument of
tcpdump.

The patch removes a libpcap check to avoid a problem with libpcap. Fix
libpcap instead.
Modernize Makefile:
Use a normal autoconf bool instead of checking for CONFIG_IPV6.
Remove old configure and MAKE_FLAGS hacks. Removing them results in
compilation continuing to work without a problem.
