popt failes to compile on gentoo-mips with a linux 2.6 kernel this is caused by a configure script that relies on /proc/cpuinfo te give endian information which is no longer available in 2.6 kernels. Patch is use another way of detection endianness below is a patch that replaces the old detection with one copied form sudo. It might be nicer to complement the old check in stead of just replacing it.
