Cross compilation of tcpdump 4.3

Hi,

I've just successfully cross compile libpcap 4.3 for powerpc. I did:

     $ ./configure --host=powerpc-linux --with-pcap=linux --prefix=/my/folder/
     $ make
     $ make install

But I'm not able to cross compile tcpdump: the configure script is always
looking for /usr/local/ instead of /my/folder. I tried this for tcpdump:

     $ ./configure --host=powerpc-linux --with-pcap=/my/folder/
     $ ...
     $ checking for powerpc-linux-pcap-config... no
     $ checking for pcap-config... /usr/local/bin/pcap-config
     $ ...

So, that's not right.

In fact, when I set LDFLAGS to LDFLAGS=${LDFLAGS} -L /my/folder/lib/, the
configure script find my cross-compiled libpcap, but it's still lookin for
/usr/local/bin/pcap-config.

How can I set correctly the cross-compiled libcap path to tcpdump ?

Regards,
G.B.
