Thanks for the fix, Martin.

The build runs smoothly now, with just a warning remaining:

sys-std.c:1002:7: warning: implicit declaration of function 'rl_resize_terminal' is invalid in C99
      [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
                    rl_resize_terminal();
                    ^
1 warning generated.

Best,
Keith
