if you do nm on libpopt.so.0 it should list that __libc_ctype_ as U.
(Undefined)

Now do something like:

nm /usr/lib/lib*.so.* | grep ctype

It doesn't seem to be the same one.  __isctype is different than
__libc_ctype.

devel/popt compiles cleanly on my April 21st system.  How recent is your
machine?

And I have been compiling with GCC 3.4 for a looong while now. ;)
