Correct, the gnulib.a I built was for the ./posix-modules which does not 
include argp.
I am not sure how to proceed from here, should the package aim for 
posix-compliance
or just include what it has got to offer? Or do we want "dynamic" GAR support 
where
you just specifiy what you want and GAR makes a static lib in one go and 
provides linker
flags for that?


Best regards
