I didn't check the license myself since I only used getopt_long in a
small throw away tool for my own use, so I will humbly admit my
ignorance of the license issue.

However, I did find getopt_long in the libiberty.a library included
with at least a couple or djgpp apps. I can't remember the full list
bit I found a copy in gdb418b.zip. I used the getopt.h from the
corresponding sources. 

I recently downloaded another djgpp package with a version of
libiberty.a that didn't include getopt_long, unfortunately I can't
remember which one :(
