As far as I could see, ldebuc.c does not include stdio.h. (stdio.h
appears in luaconf.h, but its inclusion is conditional to lua_c or
luaall_c being defined.) Moreover, if it included stdio.h, I guess the
error would be reversed, because Lua code always includes standard
headers before its own headers. (So, the error would be in the Lua
definition, with 2 arguments, against a predefined getline with 3
arguments.)

Moreover, ldebug.c:31 looks like a blank line to me. Did you change that
file?
