If you want to know why: The fixes that each gnulib module brings are documented at <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/>. In particular, for the 'getopt' function, we document this: <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/getopt.html> And yes, there is also one bug that affects glibc <= 2.11, in this list. For reference, the glibc bugs are here: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11039 http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11040 http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11041 Bruno
