ttyname_r() currently doesn't agree with the POSIX spec which
is probably why it isn't documented or in <unistd.h>.  The
prototype for ttyname_r() is suppose to be:

  int ttyname_r(int, char *, size_t);

There's patches (PRs I think) out there to fix it, but I think
they're waiting for Kris to scan ports to see if there are any
uses of the old undocumented API.  I think you can find related
mail in -threads and/or -standards.
