sharutils bundles libopts. It's possible to unbundle it.
Created attachment 873028 [details] Patch for sources One has to remove the pregenerated src/*-opts.{c,h} files and autoreconf the sources.
The problem with not bundling them together is that, basically, the generated *-opts.[ch] must be in sync with the library. As you say, "One has to remove the pregenerated src/*-opts.{c,h} files and autoreconf the sources." and then link against the same library version used to regenerate the source. For me, it leads to fewer hassles to just bundle the library. I guess your mileage varies. :)
Which is not problem because autogen tool and libopts comes from the same release. Thus they are compatible on the same host.
