popt, ELDK 2.0.2

I was experimenting with the popt library in the ELDK 2.0.2, and I received the following errors. The same compiler invocation is successful when used with gcc under Red Hat Linux 7.3. The source code follows the error messages. How do I properly compile and link this file?

ppc_82xx-gcc -Wall -lpopt -o popt_test main.c /tmp/ccMrZmW2.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccMrZmW2.o(.text+0x60): undefined reference to `poptGetContext' /tmp/ccMrZmW2.o(.text+0x60): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24 poptGetContext

	struct poptOption options[] = {
		{ "help", 'h', POPT_ARG_NONE, NULL, 1 },
		{ NULL, 0, 0, NULL, 0 }
	};
	poptContext context;

	context = poptGetContext(NULL, argc, (const char **)argv, options,
0);
	rc = poptGetNextOpt( context );

	printf("%d\n", rc);

	poptFreeContext( context);

	return 0;
}

You must specify the linked objects in the correct order. This means (among other things) that you have to put the libraries AFTER the object files that have references to symbols provided by these libs.

Try:

ppc_82xx-gcc -Wall -o popt_test main.c -lpopt

And RTFM.
