That would suggest that either the port is broken or perhaps not supported on 
your (4.x?) system. Or that Wietse has a solution for it and that should go 
into the port (maybe using our libc's getopts rather than gnu's). Someone at 
some stage probably would like a patch. I don't know more about this to 
comment any further but this seems to be the scenario at work here.
