You can't just use getopt because at least getopt_long is not portable. 
The minimum patch would be to include some kind of portable option 
parser and fall back to the system copy. I imagine the GNU tools are set 
up in the usual "replacement copy of gnu libc stuff" way to do this. For 
dbus you'd probably need to arrange to have an additional tiny libtool 
convenience library with getopt_long in it.
