With a clean copy, and attention to detail, I see:

sanjeev at X201wily:~/SRC/111/ntpsec$ git bisect
goodc636735228e68bbd90eef8b74a20d76fee6ffed6 is the first bad commit

    Address GitLab issue #70: waf should die if it can't find
sys/capability.h...

    ...on Linux.  For security's sake, make kibcap required on Linux so
droproot
    will always be available.

Please confirm that the commit comment is a typo, you are looking for libcap

Edit: I kept reading the earlier error message as "libpcap", which I have
installed.  I have now installed libcap-dev , and the configure is golden
again.

I will be in San Francisco next week for a couple of weeks, and would
happily abase myself with libations of beer to all the devs, to apologise
for the noise.
