+dnl Check if the ptmx functions are usable.
+dnl We need to be able to find the prototypes, which may
+dnl require non-POSIX source definitions.  So test to see
+dnl if ptsname is correctly recognised as returning a char *.
+dnl We do this by making sure a program where ptsname() is declared
+dnl as returning int does *not* compile.
+dnl On Linux we need the XOPEN extensions.  The easiest way to get
+dnl these is by defining _GNU_SOURCE.
