It's a libtool problem, specifically this one:

So libtool is using the wrong switches when calling gcc (v 3.4.1 in
my case) to link the libetheral library.
On Solaris 8, I did not encounter the missing -lsocket problem. I was able to
build Ethereal 0.10.7 release after making the suggested modification to
libtool after running configure:
--- libtool.dist 2004-10-27 13:09:29.385624000 -0400

I'm not sure whether applying this change to the whole_archive_flag_spec line
in aclocal.m4 would fix configure without causing problems for operating
systems other than Solaris.
Does anyone with experience using GNU autotools have suggestions on how to make
Ethereal build on Solaris with this fix out of the box?
