lib/getopt.h contains a #define optind cvs_optind under some cases.
lib/getopt.c should have the definition of the optind by either name So,
somehow you are referencing lib/getopt.h and lib/getopt.c and are not
linking with the lib/getopt.o that is put into the lib/libcvs.a archive.

Well, it would have been well to include config.h lib/Makefile and
src/Makefile ... but I hope the above hints will help you to help
yourself now that you know where things are getting defined. Check to
make sure that your include paths are consistent everywhere and look at
what is in your lib/libcvs.a file.

        Good luck,
