The argp parser is not part of the GCC project, but it is included in 
GLIBC. The GLIBC project has a separate mailing list at 
libc-help@sourceware.org.

I don't know the implementation details of the argp parser, but I would 
suppose the order is fixed. But there are also other projects which 
might help you:

* getopt
* GNU get options (ggo)

GGO for example doesn't work via a call-back (like argp) but parses the 
options and provides you with a structure containing all the options and 
flags. Not sure, if that's what you want ...

Best regards,
Andi
