If you want applets to support long options, then you have to enable
CONFIG_GETOPT_LONG and eventually enable the respective long option
support for the applets where you desire this.

That's the most flexible way to support long options without adding too
much bloat to applets where you don't want this support.

Not a bug, closing.
