Yeah, this is the best solution. I attach a patch. Is possible to
backport it back to 8.3, 8.2?
Just for completeness Solaris getopt function has a extension which
processes long option argument. This extension is called CLIP. This
implementation collides with unusual getopt usage for long option
processing in PostgreSQL.
More info are there:

By the way old solaris getopt version is similary with postgres
implementation. :-)

Thanks for help
