[Bug-gnulib] getopt module causes autoreconf error

[Simon Josefsson]

[I found another message I sent to address@hidden

I'm trying to merge gnulib's argp with a real project to test
portability, but since my real project uses autoreconf, I discovered
the problem below.  I don't know what the proper solution would be,
but I think gnulib should support autoreconf.

[FWIW, since I wrote this I have integrated gnulib functions into
gsasl, gss, and shishi which all use each other in some way, and
everything works.  those projects already use versioned gettext, so
I didn't run into this problem in practice.]
