the files you're modifying are copied from elsewhere.

Copied once, there is nobody trying to keep them up to date. They should have been cleaned up back then, of course.

To clarify: it is _not_ the question if upstream changed anything in these files since they were copied. The issue is that taking a random code snapshot and keeping it that way without thought is the very definition of bitrot.

hacking away at it gains literally nothing.

I disagree.

what exactly is the point ?  for getopt.c, it's not like
you really improved it -- the file is still full of portability hacks from all
over.

Every simplification is an improvement.
