Description Yed 2019-07-01 13:31:34 UTC
On a gentoo hardened musl new system, xterm fails to start.
There is a patch from alpine linux that fix the problem:

Confirmed. I have been able to duplicate this issue. When started xterm produces:

open ttydev: I/O error
open ttydev: I/O error
open ttydev: I/O error
open ttydev: I/O error
....


With the applied patch xterm starts normally.

Verified same issue here also.

Patch fixes on -351 and -353.

@johu, do you might carrying patch in ::gentoo ? shouldn't affect glibc builds adversely.
