should be replaced by:

A test for the function tcsetpgrp is turned on by default.  The test
needs to run the function to determine if the implementation is
usable. However, this can cause problems when configure is run without
a controlling terminal (eg. from cron).  To avoid this, use
--with-tcsetpgrp or --without-tcsetpgrp to tell configure whether the
function should be used.

One can run with on a terminal without it being the controlling
terminal. Like when doing clone /dev/pts/<n>, the cloned zsh is
running on a tty, but has no ctty.

Phil.
