getline() is a glibc-ism, a nonstandard GNU extension.  It's not listed
anywhere that I can see at
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/cygwin-api.html> so I'd say it's safe to
assume that it's not supported by Cygwin.  I'm pretty sure you could
work around this by rolling your own.  In fact, a little googling
returned the following:
