Yes. Checking the sequence once more:

  * Inetutils with gnulib-7517e2 builds on FreeBSD-9.0
    since "secure_getopt" is not used.

  * Inetutils with gnulib-f65962 is broken on FreeBSD-9.0
    since "tempname" is making "secure_getenv" mandatory,
    against my will!

  * Cherrypicking the __need_getopt fix, removes the error

      ./getopt.h:199: error: redefinition of 'struct option'.

    However, the two more serious errors

      In file included from ./stdlib.h:96,
                       from secure_getenv.c:18:
      ./unistd.h:548: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or
              '__attribute__' before 'extern'
      ./stdlib.h:607: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or
              '__attribute__' before 'extern'

    which appeared with gnulib-f65962 are still present,
    and they prevent any progress.

Question: How do I test whether _GL_CXXALIAS_SYS is intelligibly
expanded? The build system stands in my way, making the preprocessed
intermediaries inaccessible. The two abortive errors are pointing
in this direction, though.
