Yes more of the same -- the same getopt(3) difference on BSD vs linux;
the BSD one simply can't cope with ordered args -- it shuffles them
all to the end where they lose their context and meaning as far as
hashcash is concerned.
I think it's quite straight-forward to put some #ifdefs in a file
gnut_getopt.c which #includes getopt.c only on architectures with
incompatible getopt. What is the #define for BSD+MAC?
I really think it's time to start using GNU Autoconf. It's
specifically designed to take care of things like this. You would be
able to compile and run a program during the configure process to see
whether the system getopt exists and is capable enough, then set a
define HAVE_GNU_GETOPT=1 if so.
