  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

  This function is missing on some platforms:
  MacOS X 10.3, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11.23, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1,
  Solaris 9, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
  However, the replacement may fail with @code{ENOSYS} or @code{ENOENT} on
  some platforms.

  Note that when using this function to open the master side of a
  pseudo-terminal, you still need platform dependent code to open the
  corresponding slave side.  The Gnulib module @code{openpty} provides
  an easy-to-use API that does both at once.
