<div class="Section1"><p class="MsoNormal">About a year ago, you talked to the PostgreSQL people about some problem
withSolaris getopt_long, and they changed the build to use the internal getopt_long instead of the Solaris one?<p
class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">What was the problem with Solaris getopt_long?  Does the problem still exist in
Solaris10?<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">My users are unhappy at the change, since normal getopt_long
reordersthe args, and apparently the built-in one doesn’t, so “psql database –p port” no longer works, since it treats
–pas the user name.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know if I should revert that change, or port
netBSDgetopt_long and replace the PostgreSQL one with that.</div>
