It seemed to me that William Kyngesburye's (http://www.kyngchaos.com/)
version worked OK, but I don't know what his compilation options were.

Yes, that is what was happening for me. Without looking at the code, I
had narrowed it down to some sort of argument processing problem. On
my way in to the office this morning, I started wondering if it might
not be better to use the system-provided getopt(3) for the Mac OS X
case. I could not tell if that was the intention, but I will look into
that as soon as I can. If I come up with something other than this
#include removal hack, I will post a patch.

Hi Patrick,
I think I ran into the same problem, but didn't realize what the
underlying issue was. Just found that shp2pgsql kept complaining
about the inability to open valid shapefiles.

I have run into a rather perplexing problem with shp2pgsql from
PostGIS 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 on Mac OS X Leopard. As far as I can tell,
the optarg and optind variables declared in ParseCmdline() of
loader/shp2pgsql.c are being linked to the globals declared in
unistd.h rather than those in loader/getopt.h. The result is that
references to these variables in ParseCmdline() give the wrong
values. Specifically, optarg is always NULL, and optind is 0 until
the loop in lines 1363 through 1377.
Looking at the output from the preprocessor, optarg, optind, opterr,
and optopt are all declared twice. The first is from unistd.h, and
the second is from PostGIS' loader/getopt.h. If I remove the
#include directive for unistd.h, shp2pgsql compiles, links, and runs
correctly, although there is a compiler warning saying that getopt()
is not declared.
My guess is that there is some compiler or linker option that might
fix this behavior, but I have not been able to determine what that
might be. Removing the inclusion of unistd.h does not seem like the
best fix, but it is a workaround that gets things running for me.
