I don't think that is currently possible with gengetopt. At least I do
not see how to do that using the current API. Two workarounds I can
think of:

1. Use --v --vv --vvv et cetera. Does not match the typical -vv pattern,
   but would work using just gengetopt.
2. Call getopt(3) separately and looks just for the -v, skipping all
   unknown. There will probably be some edge cases to figure out, but
   this should technically work?

Sorry I cannot give you a better answer.

Cheers,
W.
