" I think the word "system" in this sentence refers to the underlying
" library that _implements_ getopt (e.g. glibc), rather than to the
" application that _uses_ it.  Indeed, glibc's posix/getopt.c sets this

You may right, and moreover I must admit that I'm able to change this issue in 
the library itself. However, the term "system" is quite    ambiguous at least 
without the original context, I think the system could be interpreted as a 
whole which means none of the components (the getopt implementation, the 
library calling getopt, and the application itself) should not set optind to 0, 
because the sentence continues like this: "... and getopt() shall update it 
when ...". Note the different subjective: system vs. getopt(). But I may be 
wrong.

I just wanted to attract the attention to the possible negative(?) outcomes of 
this change.
