Getline is a really useful function. I agree with Marcus' suggestion to completely redo the upstream implementation for all architectures, the result will be a lot easier to maintain. Today my autoconf-fu is weak, so I have no configure.in patchs. But I have at least a getline() replacement suggestion (GPL:ed version) that can be made available via this suggested configure check for hosts lacking GLibC. http://cvs.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/cvsnt/lib/getline.c?annotate=1.3&sortby=author It's a start, I guess.
