I shouldn't think anyone else has tried cross-compiling tshark for a 
while, so no it's not a known issue. Anyway the point of bugzilla is so 
that you can find out if it's a known issue :).

If you'd like to open a bug, great. If you can submit a patch which 
would fix the problem, it may even get sorted out sometime in the near 
future :)

Thanks
