Summary:                    getopt-susv3  excludes  include/getopt.h but
installs  include/bits/getopt.h
Description: 
I deliberately constructed in Buildroot a situation where getopt-susv3
would
replace GNU-getopt. All things went well except that include/getopt.h was
not
installed. Once I inserted per hand

        ls -s bits/getopt. include/getopt.h

the compilation procedure proceeds as expected. Since the error directly
concerns the choice of getopt-susv3 in uClibc, I'd rather say the bug is
with the library than with Buildroot.

Thanks for pointing this out. Fixed in r23469.

On second thought this patch was reverted:
- revert r23469. If gnu getopt is disabled, then there is no getopt.h.
  In these cases the getopt stuff comes from unistd.h (which includes
bits/getopt.h for us)

Look at the manpage of getopt. For the normal case you get the getopt
definitions via unistd.h and _ONLY_ for #define __GNU_SOURCE and
getopt_long stuff the <getopt.h> is to be used.

Generally speaking there are only a few packages that cope with getopt* in
a sensible way, umong them busybox where you can turn off getopt_long
support alltogether.
If you deliberately turn off GNU-getopt and a package that expects
GNU-getopt breaks then this is not a uClibc problem.
