Sorry, I didn't notice that.

But ping is still affected:
https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping/ping.c#L400

It's quite suspicious just replacing getopt with getopt_long given
that mausezahn does not use any long opts.

Should I fix (ar)ping only in selftests, or fix iputils with that trick instead?
