I don't your this patch is the right solution -- the gnulib getline
module depends on the stdio module, which contains this:
#if ((@GNULIB_FSEEKO@ && @REPLACE_FSEEKO@) \
|| (@GNULIB_FTELLO@ && @REPLACE_FTELLO@) \
|| (@GNULIB_GETDELIM@ && !...@have_decl_getdelim@) \
|| (@GNULIB_GETLINE@ && (!...@have_decl_getline@ || @REPLACE_GETLINE@)) \
|| defined GNULIB_POSIXCHECK)
/* Get off_t and ssize_t. */
# include <sys/types.h>
#endif
Aren't you using the gnulib stdio module, or is the code not working
somehow?
If you don't want to use the gnulib stdio module, you could add your
patch into a gnulib local directory. But there are no guarantees the
gnulib getline module will work in this case.
