+	* lexsup.c (struct ld_option): Add new enum value:
+	EXACTLY_TWO_DASHES.
+	(ld_options[]): Change -omagic, -output and -oformat options
+	to be EXACTLY_TWO_DASHES.
+	(OUTPUT_COUNT): Use ARRAY_SIZE.
+	(parse_args): Change parameter 'argc' to unsigned.
+	Place EXACTLY_TWO_DASHES options into new really_longopts

+	If getopt_long_only fails, try calling getopt_long using the

+	(help): Print a double dash for both EXACTLY_TWO_DASHES and
+	TWO_DASHES options.
+
+	* ldlex.h: Fix prototype of parse_args.

+	* ld.texinfo: Document that long options starting with 'o'
