Probably a good idea to check defined(HAVE_GETRLIMIT) && defined(RLIMIT_CORE),
rather than naively assuming every getrlimit implementation supports
that particular setting. Also, should the -c option exist but just not
do anything if the platform doesn't support it? As is, you're making it
impossible to just specify -c without worrying if it does anything.
The documentation fails to list the long form of the switch
(--corefiles, which should probably really be --core-files for consistency).
There's a typo in this message, too:
+ _("%s: cannot set core size,: disallowed by hard limit.\n"),
