Interesting, it gets added automagically on my system:

cd /home/jmayer/work/wireshark/svn/build/wsutil && /usr/bin/gcc  -Dwsutil_EXPORTS -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPACKAGE=\"wireshark\" -DNEW_PACKET_LIST -D"_U_=__attribute__((unused))" -fPIC -I/home/jmayer/work/wireshark/svn/build -I/home/jmayer/work/wireshark/svn/trunk -I/home/jmayer/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/epan -I/home/jmayer/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/tools/lemon -I/home/jmayer/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/wiretap -I/usr/include/python2.6 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib   -O2 -Wall -W -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wpointer-arith -Wno-pointer-sign -Warray-bounds -Wcast-align -Wformat-security -pedantic -Woverflow -Wlogical-op -Wno-overlength-strings -fstrict-overflow -Wstrict-overflow=4 -Wunreachable-code -Wunsafe-loop-optimizations -Wno-long-long -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-qual -Waddress -Warray-bounds -Wattributes -Wdiv-by-zero -Wformat-security -Wignored-qualifiers -Wpragmas -Wredundant-decls -Wvla -Wc++-compat -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wshadow -o CMakeFiles/wsutil.dir/privileges.c.o   -c /home/jmayer/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/wsutil/privileges.c

Anything I'm missing here? Can you please provide a few more details on your

Thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
