then libvirt needs to pick up the
updated gnulib.

I copied in current gnulib from git and it didn't resolve yet. But maybe it is just something that still is work in progress. 

Until there is a final and better solution is available the following patch avoids the issue without fully skipping the test for now.

Since the issue seems only to apply to getopt, but not getopt_long and the code doesn't use that in anything except examples it might be a valid interim helper until glibc/gnulib sorted out how that is handled more correctly.
