Okay, I was wrong. Looking at the sources, it's clear that 7.3 checks
getopt_long in libgnugetopt and libgetopt, whereas 7.2 only looks for it
in mainstream libraries. So it seems that your machine has libgnugetopt.so
or libgnugetopt.a, but not the corresponding header file (getopt.h).
Perhaps you need to install gnugetopt_devel to go with the gnugetopt RPM?
