Hi, On Alpine Linux 3.7.0, which uses musl libc, the gnulib test 'test-getopt-posix' fails. To me, this looks like a POSIX compliance bug of musl. Find attached a reduced test case. $ gcc foo.c -Wall $ ./a.ou t foo.c:134: assertion 'options[0] == ':' || ((options[0] == '-' || options[0] == '+') && options[1] == ':')' failed Reference: POSIX http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getopt.html
