Unlike the other GRUB2 utils, grub-emu uses the glibc extension

This has been brought up before, BSD has the same problem. The
outcome of the discussion was (IIRC) that we will use argp. When argp
is not available we can use gnulib or a standalone argp parser
("argp-standalone") to support this. In that case it will mean
changing configure.ac.
Will argp_parse() be a pre-requisite for building GRUB2 or will
argp-standalone be included (some other projects do) ?
If you really want argp, why is it used only for the few trivial options
of grub-emu ? The other utils still use getopt_long().
grub-emu does not benefit much from argp, but introduces another
portability issue.
