Summary:                    BusyBox 1.12.2: gzip/gunzip ignore "-c" option
Description: 
The -c option to gzip worked fine in 1.11.3 but is silently ignored in
1.12.2, making very commonly used gzip command lines fail in strange ways.
 For example:
gzip -cd foo.tar.gz | tar xvfp -
tar: short read
Meanwhile foo.tar.gz has been gunzipped and is sitting at foo.tar.

Does this help?

Yes, the attached getopt patch appears to solve the problem.  Commands like
this work again:
gzip -cd foo.tar.gz | tar xvfp -

Is this a patch to fix a more widespread bug?

Well, gzip_main calling gunzip_main is a pretty obscure corner case, but
yes, this may fix some other similar bugs also.
