I'm now looking into the code and most binaries uses getopt_long which
works fine. I think getopt_long can be used from Solaris libc. Only
postgres and pg_resetxlog uses getopt. I think nobody has problem with
postgres, because it is called from pg_ctl or other start/stop script
and pg_resetxlog should be modified to use getopt_long.

Comments?
