When writing code for Ethereal, people should read section 1.1.1
"Portability" in the "README.developer" file; it tells you not do do
certain things - including having labels (which includes case labels)
without a statement following them - because, although the compiler
they're using might let them get away with that, other compilers won't.
I've checked in a fix.

That sounds like a libtool problem; you might want to submit that as a
bug to the libtool maintainers.
