Comment out the offending line in stdio.h and file a bug report with
the Cygwin folks.
The Cygwin man page "portability" section says this is a glibc extension.
On my debian linux system, the relevant section of stdio.h is protected:
# ifdef __USE_GNU
/* Like `getdelim', but reads up to a newline. */
__STDIO_INLINE _IO_ssize_t
getline (char **__lineptr, size_t *__n, FILE *__stream)
{
return __getdelim (__lineptr, __n, '\n', __stream);
}
# endif /* GNU */
Fedora core 2 stdio.h has the same protection as well as a note that
getline is not in POSIX. The linux man page for getline has:
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
