I agree that fixing bugs in upstream is preferable. However, the functions getline() and strnlen() were already standardized in POSIX.1-2008. Assuming these functions to be available is reasonable today. I would totally understand if upstream rejects the burden of supporting legacy systems. @Ken: Just another thought, the declaration could be in its own file, referenced with the compile option -include in CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, with conditional #ifdef to add extern "C" for C++. The unused declaration should not do any harm in other compile units. That way you could even avoid generating patches for the ports.
