His fault.  He shouldn't declare a function unconditionally, but use the
system headers if there's a definition available.

As for the correctness, the getline definition in Cygwin's
/usr/include/sys/stdio.h file is *exactly* the definition used on Linux:

  ssize_t getline(char **, size_t *, FILE *);
