Looking through the code I see that ETHEREAL_STOCK_CAPTURE_START is only

No, it shouldn't be used if HAVE_LIBPCAP isn't defined. I've checked in a fix; I've attached a patch for it.

It would be nice if we'd have a buildbot variant check for this (and probably other optional settings), so we won't get into these troubles again ...

Gerald, is there a way?
