If somebody has a FreeBSD or OS X system to test on, I'd
love to see what is needed to compile with HAVE_GETDELIM
there.

Modern Mac OS X, 10.10.x Yosemite, has getdelim() and git builds fine
with HAVE_GETDELIM. I also tested on old Snow Leopard 10.5.8 from
2009. It does not have getdelim(). Unfortunately, I haven't been able
to determine when getdelim() was introduced on the Mac OS X, thus have
been unable to craft a simple rule for config.mak.uname.

Thanks for looking into it. Since there haven't been any other takers in
the meantime, do you want to prepare a patch that checks $(uname_R) for
10.10.x?  That's likely more conservative than is necessary, but we can
loosen it later if somebody on 10.9.x shows up with test results.
