#68 Outputs help screen all the time (ppc)

[Anonymous]

On a mini mac ppc:

> cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.26-1-powerpc (Debian 2.6.26-13lenny2) (dannf@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) #1 Fri Mar 13 23:21:57 UTC 2009

Building resulted in:

> echo $?
0

But when trying to execute it, it gives me the help output all the time.

Did exactly the same thing on a x86:

> cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.26-1-686 (Debian 2.6.26-13lenny2) (dannf@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 18:08:45 UTC 2009

and it worked.

I forgot to mention that it was the 0.11 user-space version I was trying with.

Same here, running Gentoo Linux x86 works, on Gentoo Linux arm l7-filter will only display a help screen.
Looking into the code i notice it is to do with the way l7-filter uses getopt. Patch I did works for me, please test.
