I like the principle of this check, but doesn't this produce a problem with the process of syncing gnulib and glibc? We're talking about a permanent difference between the getopt() in glibc and the getopt() in gnulib (since glibc should not force users to call set_program_name()). After all, there are plenty of non-GNU programs that use getopt_long().
