Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

  * One some systems (at least including Cygwin, Interix, OSF/1 4 and 5, and Mac OS X) linking with -lutil is not required.

  * On glibc, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD linking with -lutil is required.

  * The function is declared in pty.h on Cygwin, Interix, OSF/1 4 and 5, and glibc.  It is declared in util.h on Mac OS X, OpenBSD and NetBSD. It is declared in libutil.h on FreeBSD.

  * Some platforms declare the function without marking the last two parameters const. FreeBSD, Cygwin 1.7.1.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

     On some systems (at least including Solaris and HP-UX) the function is missing.
