I would take the compile line for fileobject.c and supposing it to look like this: gcc -c -blah fileobject.c run it by hand as: gcc -E -blah fileobject.c >fileobject.cpp and examine the preprocessor output (initially with grep, then with vi/emacs). I would expect the lines for getline to be different, with some macro definition occuring between the first and second occurence.
