Ok, this is a perfect strace output.

1336  open("/dev/ptyp0", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
1336  write(2, "Couldn\'t open pty!\n", 19) = 19
1336  --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
1334  <... wait4 resumed> [WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGSEGV], 0, NULL) 
= 1336
1334  --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
1334  write(2, "wait: : No such process\n", 24) = 24

Ok. It seems (from the previous letters) zaurus supports the /dev/ptmx
interface, but its traditional pty devices are quite sparse.

These tools are required only if you are compiling a cvs version. Its
purpose are to generate a configure and include/config.h.in files. BTW
you can generate it on another machine, e.g. on your desktop machine.

BTW it seems the zaurus version was cross compiled, and this is the
reason it doesn't use the unix98 ptys.
