Nothing magic there. 
It is brought in through standard system header files:

/usr/include/asm-arm/ioctls.h:#define TIOCPKT           0x5420
/usr/include/asm-generic/ioctls.h:#define TIOCPKT               0x5420
/usr/include/asm-ia64/ioctls.h:#define TIOCPKT          0x5420
/usr/include/asm-parisc/ioctls.h:#define TIOCPKT                0x5420
/usr/include/asm-powerpc/ioctls.h:#define TIOCPKT               0x5420
/usr/include/asm-s390/ioctls.h:#define TIOCPKT          0x5420
/usr/include/asm-sparc/ioctls.h:#define TIOCPKT         _IOW('t', 112, int)

... at least for linux.

window.c OpenDevice() on /dev/[pt]ty* always sets TIOCPKT mode, 
if that symbol is defined.
ansi.c DoCSI() DoESC() code reacts differently with or without having
TIOCPKT defined.

Can you verify that both files see the same definition?
Missing include somewhere?
