I suspect that your runtime/libc is defining fgetc as a macro which breaks any
code that uses it as an identifier. Ideally, your runtime should be fixed to
use a proper function, but you could probably work around it with something like
static char * fix_fgets(char *s, int n, FILE *stream) { return fgets(s, n,
stream); }
#undef fgets
static char * fgets(char *s, int n, FILE *stream) { return fix_fgets(s, n,
stream); }
