[MiNT] /dev/tty to CON:

[Vincent Rivière <vincent.riviere@freesbee.fr>]

Hello.

Some standard programs use open("/dev/tty") to write directly to the 
terminal, in case of redirections. This feature is especially used by the 
-fstack-protector function of GCC.

Of course this fails with TOS, but if I'm not wrong the special filename 
"CON:" is exactly the same.

Would it be wise to make a special case in open() inside the MiNTLib, and 
transparently replace /dev/tty to CON: when running on single TOS ?

The alternative is to patch all the programs using /dev/tty and expected to 
run on single TOS.
