Yes, this is indeed related to kernel configuration. This indicates that
wpa_supplicant was unable to open a packet socket for receiving EAPOL
frames. Most likely, your kernel is built without support for packet
sockets. This is CONFIG_PACKET option in kernel .config file ("Packet
socket" in network configuration).
