When I compile captive, I get "undefined references" errors on popt related things.

captive_cmdline-cmd_shell.o: In function `cmd_shell':
cmd_shell.c:(.text+0xe4): undefined reference to `poptParseArgvString'
cmd_shell.c:(.text+0x10a): undefined reference to `poptStrerror'

A quick search revealed several proposed patches to fix this. I took a look at them and made my own. After using the patch, captive compiles fine.
