argp is not part of POSIX standards and not provided by uClibc or some other standard C libraries. However, it is possible to link against a breakout argp library. One is provided at

This patch tests if libc provides argp otherwise it adds the linker flag -largp where needed in the build system.

Thanks. Applied and pushed to master. But anybody relying on this is on their own. There is some risk of bit-rot in the test suite when more tests are added that rely on the argp hepers. And as you know the current implementation of standalone argp is buggy and needs at least your isprint.
