This means that regeneration of the test programs (which are included in
the dist) won't work.

Haven't seen this before. Does "/dev/pty*" match any files on your
system? The sort line reads
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PTY_BSD_SCHEME_SECOND_CHARS, "`ls /dev/pty* | cut -c 10-10 | sort
| uniq | tr -d '\n'`")

Using size_t * when the function prototypes expect int * will cause
warnings, but no terrible problems if only sizeof(int) ==
sizeof(size_t). I think I'd choose int as the fallback.
