Oups, I filed the bug #318828 too quickly...

The patch I suggested was more a symptom than a solution.

If I understand well, the problem is that, on my custom kernel, I did
not enable /dev/ptyxx, only the new /dev/ptmx one :.

    --- extract from my kernel config :
    CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
    # CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is not set

But the script wily-0.13.41/tools/win/configure doesn't detect
/dev/ptmx. In fact it produces the following (non fatal) error message :
"/bin/test" not found... On Debian "test" is in "/usr/bin", not "/bin".

Looking at the configure script, the only place where "/bin/test" is
used, is when we are trying to find if /dev/ptmx is used... In every
other place, there's no path before "test". 

The "win" binary can be correctly compiled on my system if :
        1. I change "/bin/test" in "test" in the configure script
        2. I suppress the config.cache file which is curiously provided in
           wily_0.13.41.orig.tar.gz
        3. I run a fresh new configure, then make.

Of course the correction must be done in configure.in also.

I don't know if there is a way to provide a binary package working on
all systems, independantly of the kernel configuration.

Hope this helps.
