Compilation and linking will both fail hard:

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1
-D_LARGE_FILES -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT
-DXTABLES_LIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/xtables\" -DXTABLES_INTERNAL
-I../include -I../include   -Wall -Waggregate-return
-Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wredundant-decls -Wshadow
-Wstrict-prototypes -Winline -pipe -g -O2 -MT nfbpf_compile.o -MD -MP
-MF ".deps/nfbpf_compile.Tpo" -c -o nfbpf_compile.o nfbpf_compile.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/nfbpf_compile.Tpo" ".deps/nfbpf_compile.Po"; else rm
-f ".deps/nfbpf_compile.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
nfbpf_compile.c:12:18: fatal error: pcap.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [nfbpf_compile.o] Error 1

Do you want the configure script itself to fail before that step?

That skips compilation if HAVE_PCAP is false, but it does not fail
hard during configure, either. At least, that's what I gather from
reading and running
