I do not think that this is a Solaris _bug_. GNU getopt tries to do too much when it reorders the commandline and therefor needs the "+" as a workaround. I would not hold my breath to wait for a "fix" from the Sun side. But then, as long as it works for me, i'm happy with everything. > When cross-compiling, I fall back on looking for the odd Solaris decl to > decide whether to use the GNULIB version of getopt or not.

I'd bet that every system that does not use GNU getopt will suffer from this problem. I don't know how many of them have a getopt.h, which "triggers" the problem. > Matthias, would you mind testing this version out?
