This could simply be an artifact of the gnulib dependency system.
It's entirely possible that one of the modules that is compiled in had
a header-only dependency on argp.h and thus the file gets imported.
If nothing required argp.c and it wasn't explicitly imported, a
header-only version could end up in libgnu_dev.

This can be fixed by explicitly requesting that module from gnulib.

Thanks
