Yes, please quickly walk through
  https://www.opencsw.org/manual/
especially
  https://www.opencsw.org/manual/for-developers/index.html

There is also the CI with
  https://buildfarm.opencsw.org/buildbot/waterfall?category=libpcap
  https://buildfarm.opencsw.org/buildbot/waterfall?category=tcpdump
where you can dive in to the build flags including pathes.

That precedes my career, I started with Solaris 2.5.1 in 1997 :-)
