Hi Christian,

If your build-time environment does provide a prototype for getopt() 
which is compatible with the one in include/getopt.h then you may find 
that the attached patch helps.  It fixes the configure system in the 
binutils/ subdirectory so that it checks for a compatible getopt() 
prototype.  (You will need to regenerate the configure files after 
applying the patch).

Note - this issue is being discussed on a thread on the 
bug-binutils@gnu.org mailing list started by Vladimir Merzliakov. 
Unfortunately it appears that this list is not being archived at the 
moment so I cannot give you a URL to follow.

Cheers
   Nick
