After reading http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5165/6mbb0m9b0?l=en&a=view, i
did some more investigation. Because according to the text, everything should
work as expected - no word about a reorder of the command line.

I wrote a test program and it turned out, that not the reorder of the command
line was the problem, but the setting of optind to zero (optind=0). The 'getopt'
call then returns -1 immediately under Solaris (leaving optind=0). When i do a
optind=1, the Solaris getopt behaves like the GNU one - provided the GNU one
finds a '+' as first character in the option string.

Very complicated. So, leaving the '+' and setting optind=1 instead of optind=0
should give the same result on Solaris and under GNU - but then it would be
possible to specify an option "-+" under Solaris... I think using the GNU getopt
implementation under Solaris is still the best way to solve this.
