Take a look at the previous line in the build log:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m64 -mtune=nocona   -o lock-keys-applet  lock-keys-applet.o -Wl,--export-dynamic -pthread -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lpanel-applet-2 -lgnomeui-2 -lSM -lICE -lbonoboui-2 -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lgnomecanvas-2 -lgnome-2 -lpopt -lart_lgpl_2 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgnomevfs-2 -lbonobo-2 -lgconf-2 -lbonobo-activation -lORBit-2 -lm -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0     

You can see that ../libtool is called with good linker arguments for
libpopt as taken from the libgnome-2.0 pkgconfig file.  But this libtool
doesn't care about /usr/lib64 and chooses to take libpopt.so from /usr/lib
instead when running gcc, which is what you see in the line you
quoted. So, if you update the included libtool files (libtoolize...),
that should fix it.
