    My guess is that the conflict is with the Ubuntu library function
    "getline", which dap does not use: dap has its own function
    "getline". What to do?

The only feasible change for the future is to rename dap's getline to
something else.  The "getline" that was added to GNU libc (because of
POSIX, I think) is not going to go away and there's no viable way to
eliminate it.

(Personally, I think it was a terrible idea to define such a
commonly-used identifier in system libraries at such a late date, but
gee, nobody asked me. :)
