The file alloca_.h is not included by any other file in the object, only
alloca.c calls alloca.h. And alloca does not seem to be used in the package
elsewhere; perhaps its there for the generated parsers. I find that
getopt_.h is used from getargs.c, getopt.c, getopt1.c, but it could be that
I entered that by hand. The file getopt1.c still includes getopt.h. And
stdbool_.h is not included from any file; instead stdbool_.h is included
from argmatch.c, quotearg.c, and system.h. It could be that the installation
somehow checks that the files without the "_" are present and alters the
sources if they are not. I just report what is in the distribution, so that
you can make sure there is no installation problem.
