I don't think this is timestamp-related, as the same machine running Debian
for i386 (in another partition) does not fail. In both cases the ntp package
is installed and working, which ensures a very accurate time.

In case it helps, these are the conflicting declarations:

This is from /usr/include/bits/stdio.h:

# ifdef __USE_GNU
/* Like `getdelim', but reads up to a newline.  */
__STDIO_INLINE _IO_ssize_t
getline (char **__lineptr, size_t *__n, FILE *__stream)
{
  return __getdelim (__lineptr, __n, '\n', __stream);
}
# endif /* GNU */

and this is from /usr/include/stdio.h:

extern _IO_ssize_t getdelim (char **__restrict __lineptr,
                             size_t *__restrict __n, int __delimiter,
                             FILE *__restrict __stream);


I really suspect this has something to do with the fact of having a
64-bit system.
