The getline function allocates memory that has to be freed by the caller
regardless of whether or not the call succeeds. This is the case at
least on current GNU libc getline, and also the case with Gnulib's own
replacement getline implementation.

The case pattern which matches solaris2.[1-9] etc. is not fully
quoted, so the brackets get eaten by m4 and don't actually make
it into the resulting configure script, giving just:

When using the conditional dependencies feature of Gnulib, several
functions are emitted into configure scripts that use 'if ! ...'.
This syntax is not portable in practice, as discussed in the Autoconf
manual[1]. Because in this instance the construct is emitted into
configure scripts, this has

Yes, thank you for the correction.

Reverting the aforementioned commit resolves the issue.

Another alternative is to simply make sure that you always include the
GMP headers before including .

cause it uses alloca (override using the always_inline attribute)
Finally, regardless of whether or not the function actually gets
inlined it's likely that this code will be duplicated at least in
every translation unit which calls it since it has internal linkage.
One wonders why these big functions aren't in their own .c file.
