I think you need `dll -p0 foo.lx' and `dll -p1 bar.lx'.

If getopt is working right, the position of switches shouldn't matter.
If they do, it's broken.

From getopt(3) on BSD and other systems:

     When all options have been processed (i.e., up to the first
     non-option argument), getopt() returns -1.

However, from the Linux manpage:

       By default, getopt() permutes the contents of argv  as  it
       scans,  so  that eventually all the non-options are at the
       end.  Two other modes are also implemented.  If the  first
       character  of optstring is `+' or the environment variable
       POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, then option  processing  stops  as
       soon  as  a  non-option  argument  is encountered.

No surprise, Linux is nonstandard (or should I say:  broken in a way that
someone thought was clever).  Actually, to make dll and makelx build on other
platforms getopt_long has to be turned into getopt.
