Oops.  Looks like I missed that one.  I shouldn't try to code
when I've had just 6 hours of sleep in the last two days...

In this case, the glibc part isn't relevant (not used).  What
kernel version were you using?  Your kernel does not support
Unix 98 ptys...

I just changed the message to:
#error UNIX98PTY_ONLY enabled but TIOCGPTN ioctl not supported by your kernel.

If the kernel you are using to compile uClibc with does not
support this feature, all you can do is disable it...
