The declaration should be in _getopt.h_ not getopts.h:

extern char *optswchar;  /* character introducing options; default="-" */ 

As you can see defining it as "-" is rather (hexdump.c) redundant. Check 
your sources from emx-08d and make sure you have the correct include for
getopt(). Also note that defining optind=0 is also redundant while opterr
defaults to TRUE (display error message on unknown switch).
