[Bug libc/3353] New: ttyname's new strict dependency on /proc breaks chrooted applications

["jnair at ensim dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

I am a FC6(test3) user. glibc version comes with the distro is 2.4.90-29.
My application runs sshd daemon and logons users to their respective chrooted
homes. Now /proc is not purposely made available in the chrooted env. 
sshd's login process (chrooted) calls ttyname. It fails as it does not find
/proc mounted. This used to work with glibc-2.4-4 (on FC5) and before.
Now this strict dependency breaks my application. Even simple command like `tty`
fails in if /proc is not mounted.
