The help states:

> usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]

so I would argue that setup.py ignoring global_opts after cmd1 is not a bug.

But I do think that the fact that "python setup.py build --dry-run" does not prevent the build from running is not ideal.

Maybe throwing an error for misplaced global options is the best solution?
