Oh, I thought we were talking the development code.  Yes, retrieve the 
latest code and try again.

Here's the activity concerning getopt_long/getopt (I think this is what 
would reside in glibc if that is what the system ends up using):

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=history;f=posix/getopt.c
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=history;f=posix/getopt1.c

Not much activity there.  Looks pretty stable.
