The "getline" function is specified by POSIX to be declared
in <stdio.h>.  It is not specified by the ISO C standard, so the
identifier should be available for use in strictly conforming
programs.

$ cat getline_bug.c
#include <stdio.h>
int getline = 0;
int main(void) {
    return getline;
}
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 16.0.0 20250907 (experimental)

$ gcc getline_bug.c -o getline_bug
getline_bug.c:2:5: error: ‘getline’ redeclared as different kind of symbol

Stack Overflow user "pmor" reports the same problem with gcc 12.4.0.

The problem is in newlib, winsup/cygwin/include/sys/stdio.h, line 35.
I expect getdelim() to exhibit the same problem, but I haven't checked that.

GNU libc's <stdio.h> avoids this problem by surrounding the
declarations of getline() and getdelim() by an appropriate #ifdef.
