You understand it correctly, but the point can be that all those declarations
in these headers are wrapped with lots of special #ifdef's and so it can be
that they are disabled if Mozilla compiles. You can check this if you run the
above compiler call manually and add an -E option to cc and attach a "| grep
optarg". I guess there is no output at all which means that all declarations
of optarg were skipped because none of the conditions for the surrounding
blocks are true.
