[Qemu-devel] [PULL 21/49] configure: Add a proper check for openpty() in libutil

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: Thomas Huth <address@hidden>

On Linux (and maybe some BSDs), we require libutil for the openpty()
function. However, this library is not available on some other systems, so
we currently use a fragile if-statement in the configure script to check
whether we need the library or not. Unfortunately, we also hard-coded a
"-lutil" in the tests/Makefile.include file, so this breaks the build on
Solaris, for example (see buglink below). To fix the issue, add the "-lutil"
to "libs_tools" in the configure script instead, then this gets properly
propagated to the tests, too.
And while we're at it, also replace the fragile if-statement in the confi-
gure script with a proper link-check for the availability of this function.
