Alla SlackBuilds for libnet (there is none fo Salcakre 12.1) include this:

elif [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
   SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"
   LIBDIRSUFFIX="64"

So this configure option:
--libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
expands to:
--libdir=/usr/lib64

But there is no /usr/lib64 directory in Slackware 12.1.

Could that be the issue?
