Cool =).

Btw, just in case you run through my old 6.x packages (for kernel and
buildutils) in svn, don't hesitate to nuke them.  They were forked from their
5.x counterparts long ago, and are totaly obsoleted now.

Strange.  What kind of build errors?  Could you paste?

Why not?

Sounds like ktrace output could help a lot.  Glibc openpty obtains a path string
using pts_name(), and then attempts to open() it.  Later there's termios magic
and an ioctl.  Which of them returns EINVAL?
