IRIX has native getopt() routines which aren't GNU-compliant - which causes the build of getopt to fail. The source anticiptates this, however, and if LIBCGETOPT is set to 0 then it will build correctly. I'm not sure if this can be passed as a parameter, or whether the Makefiles need to be altered with sed. (Additionally, work/getopt-1.1.4/gnu/getopt.c should '#include <string.h>' - this appears to happen if 'HAVE_STRING_H' is set, but only on VMS(!) and even then this doesn't appear to be set anywhere) [I was hoping that this package would provide getopt_long routines, which IRIX doesn't have natively and several packages - such as groff - require. Unfortunately it doesn't :( ]
so, does it make sense to patch it for IRIX? Additionally, we might want to make a getopt_long package, as I think Interix needs it too.

ok, fixed
Confirmed - getopt-1.1.4 now builds correctly. (There are still problems with getopt_long for a number of packages... speex comes to mind, but there are more. I'm not sure how this can be addressed - speex can be configured to use FreeBSD(?)'s libgnugetopt, but I never found a canonical download location for this. There are two different code-bases: IIRC, one eixsts as 1.2 and 1.3 (which are identical, bare-bones, and broken) and one exists as 1.2 (with full configure scripts, and work. However, the presence of this library does cause another build (I forget which) to fail. I can attach the necessary files and ebuild, and we can see whether it's worth including...)
