`getopt_long' is a GNU function, you can only find it in the source 
distribution of the GNU packages.  Since the DJGPP library is absolutely 
free, it cannot include any GNU code (which is under LGPL), but you can 
certainly pull the source of that function to compile a program for your 
own purposes.  Download ny source distribution from v2gnu directory and 
look for files called getopt*.[ch].
