ckermit (kermit) cannot spawn ssh, reporting "No such file or directory" altough no file or directory appears related. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ kermit > ssh myhost Actual Results: : No such file or directory Expected Results: Kermit should use be able to swawn ssh to connect to the remote system. This bug happens when kermit searches for a way to allocate a pseudoterminal. On systems without the classical BSD ptys (kernel option), this needs the /dev/ptmx device and a call to grantpt. Unfortunately the ckermit is set not to try this method unless it can first find grantpt in /usr/include/stdlib.h (using a grep!); only then does it check for the presence of /dev/ptmx and configures itself for either classical ptys or the UNIX98 ptys. On amd64 systems, this does not work because of the multilib setup (/usr/include/stdlib.h is almost empty). I'll be attaching a ebuild which fixes the makefile. Second problem: when using /dev/ptmx, kermit uses the ptsname system function. However this function is not declared in stdlib.h unless _XOPEN_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE are defined. Therefore the wrong prototype is assumed, and the pointer returned is truncated to 32 bits. So the included ebuild patches the makefile to define _XOPEN_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE (then required for the CRTSCTS define).
Created attachment 138945 [details] ebuild which fixes the problem Ugly, but works (tested here).
Committed, thanks. SSH still works on x86 with this setup, too!
