gnulib and MSVC

Problem with getopt on CentOS 5.8

f (GNU Autoconf) 2.59 > automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6 > gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52) Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem on my CentOS 5.8 virtual box image. Is there anything the developer can do locally on his machine to narrow the problem down? Thanks Christian Footnot
