Hello there,
the signature wrapper rpl_forkpty() intended for BSD, where
there are differences in const-declarations, never takes effect.
Hence the native forkpty() is never used in any *BSD.
The problem is that the preprocessor macro HAVE_FORKPTY
is never defined. A patch follows.
Best regards,
Mats Erik Andersson, on behalf of GNU Inetutils.

Subject: [PATCH] pty: Activate the signature wrapper of forkpty.
The intended preprocessor macro HAVE_FORKPTY is
never defined, yet `lib/forkpty.c' depends on it.
