On Tru64, besides the known and expected missing c99 function isblank()
there was one warning:
cc: Warning: main.c, line 2628: In this statement, the referenced type
of the pointer value
"(switches[i].long_name==0?"":switches[i].long_name)" is const, but the
referenced type of the target of this assignment is not. (notconstqual)
      long_options[i].name = (switches[i].long_name == 0 ? "" :
------^
