I would, except that the port builds with the stock getopt and gcc that comes 
with 4.11.  I don't have the hardware to do the testing required to make sure 
I don't end up breaking the port for everyone else. Removing libgnugetopt so 
that the port builds seems a reasonable work around. I tried building on 6x 
and -CURRENT with that lib installed and didn't have any build problems. If 
someone with a 4x box feels like chasing this down, I'm willing to test a 
patch from there.
