Actually I got to revoke this. nbsed did use libnbcompat's getopt.
And that's the broken one (correct me, if I'm wrong, it's late here):

% gcc -o getopt-test getopt-test.c libnbcompat-20041024/libnbcompat.a
% ./getopt-test abc --x && echo "ok" || echo "nono"
nono

% gcc -o getopt-test getopt-test.c
% ./getopt-test abc --x && echo "ok" || echo "nono"
ok

Both tests done on the Solaris 8 box I was referring to, before.
getopt-test.c is attached. (For this tiny test I don't even consider the
GNU way broken, but changing the defines you should have a good starting
point for autoconf magic)

What do I overlook?

Cheers, Rob.
