Yup, you pushed while I was typing.
FWIW, I don't think it's "Windows" enforcing this, it's our own
src/port/getopt[_long].c. If there were a well-defined spec
for what glibc does with such cases, it might be interesting to
try to make our version bug-compatible with theirs. But AFAIK
it's some random algorithm that they probably feel at liberty
to change.
