The glibc manual implies that setting optind = 1 is a weak reset
(sufficient if you are NOT using either leading '+' or '-', and if you
do NOT expect POSIXLY_CORRECT to have changed value since the last
time), and that optind = 0 is a hard reset needed only when the weak
reset is insufficient.

BSD has optreset as its way of forcing hard reset (instead of optind=0),
but both platforms allow optind=1 for soft reset.

Given that none of our uses of getopt() in qemu-io-cmds.c rely on
leading '+' or '-', and that we don't call setenv() to change
POSIXLY_CORRECT on the fly, I think the simpler patch is to just blindly
set optind = 1 when we want a soft reset, as a hard reset is overkill
for our needs.

and thus we don't need the #ifdef __GNU_LIBRARY__ code, nor the syntax
check violation.
