getopt.c is compiled and linked unconditionally on all platforms as far as I can see. As this works on all the other platforms there must be something different on OS/2. You could try to move getopt and getopt_long to AC_REPLACE_FUNCS in configure.in and modify lib/Makefile.in accordingly. But I haven't checked all the implications of that. Maybe linking the getopt code was done intentionally. Bye, Henning
