How about using -gllamm, roubst- its estimated coefficients seem to be very
close to those obtained by -xtreg, re-

Example:

. sysuse grunfeld

. gllamm invest mvalue kstock, robust i(com) adapt

Running adaptive quadrature
Iteration 1:    log likelihood = -1131.7393
Iteration 2:    log likelihood =  -1111.848
Iteration 3:    log likelihood = -1105.8103
Iteration 4:    log likelihood = -1097.1931
Iteration 5:    log likelihood = -1095.3823
Iteration 6:    log likelihood = -1095.2697
Iteration 7:    log likelihood =  -1095.257
Iteration 8:    log likelihood =  -1095.257


Adaptive quadrature has converged, running Newton-Raphson
Iteration 0:   log likelihood =  -1095.257  (not concave)
Iteration 1:   log likelihood =  -1095.257

number of level 1 units = 200
number of level 2 units = 10

Condition Number = 3211.2392

gllamm model

log likelihood = -1095.257
