THE 3.3RC7 make with CentOS 7 error: getopt_core.h: No such file

[Warren T. Van Wyck]

I've installed 3.3RC4 a dozen times.

Now trying 3.3RC7:

./configure --with-rexx=regina --with-curses=ncurses

make install

Results:

chmod u+x ./install-sh

I've booted up a CentOS 8.1905 system. The compile/make now succeeds.
The cause is apparently the difference between the glibc package version 2.28 for CentOS 8 and package version 2.17 for CentOS 7.6.
