config.log says:

ac_cv_func_getopt_long=yes

Is there perhaps an empty .deb package that has the dependencies?

That's very peculiar, because those files only attempt to touch optreset
if configure found that that variable is defined by the system
libraries. Would you look at the part of config.log that begins with
"checking for optreset"?

Manually repeating without -ledit seemed to make the same difference
