It might be the difference that GNU getopt by default accepts
options and non-options in any order, while "traditional" getopt
implementations (Solaris probably) stop at the first non-option
(/tmp/3783). So,
./shlib tic -s -o /opt/share/terminfo /tmp/3783
or
./shlib tic -o /opt/share/terminfo -s /tmp/3783
should work for both.
