Can you try two things:

1. do a search/find/grep of all ".h" files to see how many different
definitions of "getopt" there are.

2. on line 672 of getopt.c, try renaming getopt to xxxopt and see if
that at least compiles.

Personally, I think that CVS should compile out-of-the box with
any ISO C compiler.  All the other stuff should be non-default
options.  I would not object to the fact that it wouldn't actually
link, because of the missing library files, stat() etc, which are
non-ISO.

BFN.  Paul.
