Is it certain that the library is the cause?  In other words, can you
build GCC with stock v2.03 library and see that this problem doesn't
happen there?

When did that start happening?  If it started recently, and if stock
v2.03 libc doesn't have this problem, one possible cause might be the
changes I committed for supporting CMDLINE on Windows.  You don't explain 
why you think that is the case, as the Subject says.

One possible way to debug this is to add some debugging print-outs in
the functions which issues this "Unrecognized option" message, and see
what kind of data in there gets corrupted.

What do you have for a shell when you see these problems?
