Running make without arguments produces a segfault when /dev/pts isn't
mounted. This makes building in a chroot jail a bit of a pain if you don't
mount /dev/pts. Sometimes I don't even bother mounting /dev/ and this only
happens in 4.1


at ~ # make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
at ~ # umount /dev/pts/
at ~ # make
Segmentation fault
at ~ # 


Here is the stack trace (CFLAGS are -g -gdb)
