If you feed a dash as an argument to getopt.gnu_getopt() then it gets
lost, because the code only checks if the argument starts with a dash,
not if it's more than a dash (unlike getopt.getopt() which is correct).

Example:

>>> import getopt
>>> getopt.gnu_getopt('-', '')
([], [])
>>> getopt.getopt('-', '')
([], '-')

Fixed in r67572. I won't backport this.
