Speaking of cygwin's getopt implementation, I recently ran in to a
problem with gettext. It failed its own selftests when using cygwin's
implementation, because cygwin's version hardcodes POSIXLY_CORRECT,
which prevents reordering arguments. Gettext's test suite depends on
reordering.
Not really a problem; I simply linked in gettext's copy of the GNU
version of the getopt functions. But. I am curious why cygwin's
implementation forces POSIXLY_CORRECT. Anybody know?
