*sigh*

It's quite easily argued that depending on a *NON STANDARD* getopt routine
is a bug. AFAIK *ONLY* glibc has the long-getopt crap, and if that's the
only thing you're running into, it should be easy enough to rip out the
long getopt code, and add a few proper defines and have the standard libc
coexist peacefully with the GNU getopt.

I personally haven't found any, but I've seen for instance, kcalc is
riddled with ifdefs and warnings about floating point precision stuff and
RH 5.something due to glibc bug(s).
