Are you using Archlinux's ABS tree or packages? That probably won't  
work, you'll have to recompile everything, and of course that way you  
can remove the glibc dependency. As for argument parsing I'm not sure  
what the status of that is. I made a really bad patch that kinda works  
for most options, but I wouldn't recommend using that one. As far as I  
know Xavier is working on something.

There seem to be some problems with readlink in the Makefile (or  
asciidoc, haven't really looked into it), which I'll have to tackle  
for repo-add as well. Luckily you can just --disable-doc and it will  
compile fine.
