All of these would benefit of using strtonum(3) instead.

Oh nice, I didn't know about that function.

For the record, the patch also fixes 239974 and 239975.

Do you really need to change the type here? All strtonum() use cases are limited by LONG_MAX or smaller values.

971–973

You don't need a whitespace before ";" here. Overall, this change looks unrelated.

I don't see any reason why not though - leaving it defined as long will trigger compiler warnings, static analyzer warnings, etc..

971–973

I didn't modify that line, but I can fix it.

This is a bug related to the validation of -g/-G/-h. It could be split out in a separate diff, I don't have strong feelings either way.
