Mount the devpts file system.
The lack of a devpts file system was causing mysterious GNU Binutils test suite failures, with these "spawn failed" errors in the test log: Test Run By root on Sun Dec 8 20:36:45 2013 Native configuration is x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu === binutils tests === Schedule of variations: unix Running target unix Using /usr/share/dejagnu/baseboards/unix.exp as board description file for target.
