[Bug libc/11254] New: Argp fails to recognize certain option aliases

[gray at gnu dot org dot ua]

Argp fails to properly recognize alias options that have
short option letters. For instance, in this setup (used in GNU inetutils):

static struct argp_option argp_options[] = {
  { "dstaddr", 'd', "ADDR", 0,
    "set destination (peer) address to ADDR" },
  { "peer", 'p', "ADDR", OPTION_ALIAS },
  { NULL }
};

both --peer and -p are not recognized.

The bug is caused by improper use of `|' in argp/argp-parse.c:367.

It was fixed in gnulib, see:
