I got the following response from Ulrich Drepper:

  That's crap.  We are not going to remove the parameter names.  This
  is perfectly valid.

Not knowing library details intimately, I've looked into my stdlib.h
file and couldn't found a trace of an `__argc' macro.  And honestly, I
find it strange that a macro has this name...

Is this a special UWIN feature?  At least three header files in my
glibc (argp.h, getopt.h, and ucontext.h) use `__argc' in function
declarations.

Nevertheless, I've removed the parameter names in groff-getopt.h --
maybe you can find a patch to force the use of this header file
instead?
