I orginally posted this message some time ago. Having all of

there anyway to get around this without recompiling the whole
cygwin suite from source code?
No.
Not entirely correct, Chris. One may simply link a static copy of the
[getopt.c getopt.h getopt1.c] files to the desired executable. That's
what I did with the gettext library, because gettext's selftests depend
on non-POSIXLY-correct commandlines (and reordering the tests wouldn't
have worked).
