This time, ld complained about the lack of a getopt_long in the "new"
version of getopt. The Berkeley version doesn't have anything like
this, since it is, apparently, only an implementation of old-style
single character processing getopt.
That's normal. The GNU tools will use their own copy of getopt on all
systems. Attempting to optimize this is a bad idea, unless you go to
some extra work to make sure the interface is correct.
The advantage of putting getopt in cygwin would be for non GNU tools.
