libc update versus missing symbol?

I'm trying to separate libc problems from gcc34 problems, and my
ignorance is getting in my way :o(

For example:
$ gnome-dictionary
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libpopt.so.0: Undefined symbol
"__libc_ctype_"

I've just recompiled popt but I had to hack a few things (because, of
course, it won't compile with gcc34) so now I'm not sure whether the
missing symbol is because of my hacks or because of the libc updates.

The missing symbol seems to be defined in /usr/include/ctype.h which
was updated with the citrus import -- is this correct?

Thanks.

Oh, BTW, any ideas how to fix popt so it compiles properly?  Asmodai?
