It will be difficult to do so unless you can provide details.

I'm not aware of anything wrong with unistd.h.  If there are problems
we obviously need to know the details to the problems.  Since hundreds
of people are using the package, it's not likely that the problems are
trivial.

I will point out that getopts is a builtin for BASH and /bin/sh != bash.
/bin/sh == ash.  I don't know if this helps or not.

What errors are you seeing?
