Make sure /dev/pts/ptmx is world-writable
While running Python 3’s test suite, we noticed that on some systems /dev/pts/ptmx is created with permissions 0 (that’s the case with my Nixpkgs-originating 3.0.43 kernel, but someone with a Debian-originating 3.10-3 reported not having this problem.) There’s still the problem that people without CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y are screwed (as noted in build.cc), but I don’t see how we could work around it.
