+Subject: [PATCH] getopt: fix strncmp() declaration
+
+The strncmp() declaration does not conform with the standard as to the
+type of the 'n' parameter. Fix this to avoid the following build failure
+with musl libc:
+
+n file included from main.c:61:0:
+getopt.c:175:13: error: conflicting types for 'strncmp'
+ extern int  strncmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, unsigned int n);
+             ^~~~~~~
+In file included from main.c:49:0:
+.../host/x86_64-buildroot-linux-musl/sysroot/usr/include/string.h:38:5: note: previous declaration of 'strncmp' was here
+ int strncmp (const char *, const char *, size_t);
+     ^~~~~~~
