FreeBSD 7.x's libc does not include getline(3).  The port will have to
be modified to probably bring in devel/libgetline and custom patches
made to work when built on that OS.

Alternatively, one could try and get the author (CC'd) to restore
getline.c in the official source but only build it/make use of it when a
specific configure or make flag is specified.
