There's a problem with getopt(3) and the tools libcompat and MacOS.
Look at

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-toolchain/2008/02/04/msg000025.html
  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-toolchain/2008/06/09/msg000220.html
  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2008/06/28/msg003259.html

for some info.  In current, src/distrib/common/Makefile.mdset does this:

        OPSYS!= uname -s
        .if ${OPSYS} == "Darwin"
        MDSETIMAGEFLAGS=
        .else
        MDSETIMAGEFLAGS=-v
        .endif
