It can help. I suspect this is a cross compiled package, so the
UNIX98 pty support will be disabled. After you run configure you
have to find the following line in include/config.h:

#define USE_UNIX98PTYS 1

If it fails, the attached patch can help (it can be applied to the
latest release). I will commit it into the cvs.

As a band aid you can create /dev/ptyp0 with the same major/minor
number as /dev/ptyp0. Don't forget to create /dev/ttyp0 similar to
/dev/ttya0 too (ptyp0 will be a master and ttyp0 will be the slave side).
