This implies that your system has the getopt_long() subroutine (in one
library or another) but <getopt.h> either doesn't exist or doesn't
define "struct option".  This is not particularly hard to believe,
since getopt_long() might be installed in a nonstandard place and its
header file too.

CVS tip attempts to support long options with or without a system copy
of getopt_long(), but I fear that it will still break on platforms like
yours, because there is no separate configure check to see if we need to
provide a definition of struct option.

Peter, what can we do to fix that?
