 After testing my patch on IRIX 6.5, I found some obvious mistakes in the
 patch and another issue i.e., TIOCSCTTY is undefined on IRIX and definitely
 nowhere found in any header files. This ioctl() or another method is apparently
 not necessary on IRIX as far as I interpret the manpages and the test results.
 I've verified that other terminal emulators use such a #ifdef for TIOCSTTY as
 well.
