It's all a matter of perspective: if you count by the percentage of
system types that have getopt_long, you are correct, but if you count
by the number of installed systems the situation is reversed.
Nevertheless, I will fix this for you. But I would like to note that
an actual patch to fix this problem from the people that care about it
would help a lot more than complaining about it. The fix is fairly
simple (implement getopt_long in port.[hc], either by degrading to
getopt, or by copying the getopt_long implementation from glibc, which
now has a compatible license), and it's so much easier to test its
correction on the actual problematic system.
