Well, NetBSD seems to be harder to get working than FreeBSD.

http://ftp6.tw.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-CVS/src/contrib/file=
/

getopt_long.c,v
mygetopt.h,v

Both of those need very minor editing, but it seems to compile / work
with EsCo, so I guess it would work okay for DJGPP in general. But I'm
really unfamiliar with getopt in general, so I can't say how well this
version actually works or what needs to be done (tests?), though.
