Yes, it is  a killer.

For debian toolchains all you need to do is install the libpopt-dev library.
Note, that I already tell you that  on the error message. We could add that
library to the Dockerfile and the arm toolchain installer script. However,
now I am thinking of a different approach. Currently I am fixing the kernel
build test, and I have added a "dependencies" item to test.yaml. The idea
is to keep track of the build dependences of each test separately not in
the Dockerfile where everything is mixed and we have no control.

For Yocto generated SDK, you would need to add the library to your sdk. Or
easier, add the dbench test to your target filesystem.

OK, I will work on that.
