This patch will allow mcl to use it's fast linux TTY routines when it's set as
suid root.  Previously it was configured to run as sgid, but Gentoo sets the
binary's gid to games by default.   Also if the binary is not suid, then it
will automatically continue using the standard TTY routines instead of just
dying with an error as it did previously.

Reproducible: Always
