Fwd: Re: getopt_long and POSIXLY_CORRECT

[Mikhail Teterin]

Could a committer with interest in -stable, please, see to it, that Andrey's 
recent change to getopt_long makes it into 6.2-RELEASE?

The change makes our implementation of getopt_long closer to GNULIB's and will 
make it easier to avoid code-duplication in some ports.

Thanks!

I don't have any -stable machine conveniently available for testing. Feel
free to MFC it after testing or ask someone else.
