/dev/pty* are only used with BSD style ptys. Linux 2.6 has named them
as CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS, to be removed at some point. Instead of looking for
the old /dev/pty*, you should instead attempt to open a pty, and then close it,
as this will also catch the case where /dev/pty* exists, but the support does
not exist in the kernel.
You could also look for a mounted /dev/pts filesystem and a valid /dev/ptmx,
but I think opening a pty with the libC functions is probably best...
