Description:
------------
Trying to compile PHP 4.3.4 with the CLI SAPI module on OpenBSD 3.3 gives the warnings listed under 'actual result' related to the optind and optarg variables.

The CLI binary produced then doesn't interpret its command line arguments properly.

Fix:
This seems to be due to the static optarg and optind variables in sapi/cli/php_cli.c conflicting with those of the standard library. The problem went away when I renamed these two variables.

Reproduce code:
---------------
./configure \
        --with-config-file-path=/var/www/conf \
        --with-apxs \
        --with-openssl \
        --with-zlib \
        --with-iconv \
        --with-gettext \
        --with-recode \
        --with-pgsql \
        --without-mysql \
        --without-xml \
        --enable-inline-optimization \
        --enable-shared \
        --enable-dio \
        --enable-bcmath \
        --enable-calendar \
        --enable-sockets \
        --disable-static
make
sapi/cli/php --help

Expected result:
----------------
Compilation without problems, with help text shown when running 'sapi/cli/php --help'.

Actual result:
--------------
When the CLI is being compiled the following warnings appear, and then 'sapi/cli/php --help' ignores the --help argument.

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-openbsd3.3/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease, propolice)

This is the default compiler that comes with OpenBSD 3.3.

I just checked a draft copy of the ISO C99 specification, and it would seem that defining static optind and optarg variables after including unistd.h, which has extern declarations with the same name, results in undefined behaviour (6.2.2.7). So I guess the code violates standard C regardless of whether it works with some versions GCC.

Assigned to Marcus who broke this in both CLI and CGI sapis.
