Not sure if newlib is trying to stay Unix/POSIX compliant, but
splitting the file might be counter to the standard.See
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/ttyname.html

Would an #ifdef _TTYNAME / #ifdef _TTYNAME_R or some such item usable
allowing on the needed function to be used?

I must be missing something. I fail to see how which file(s)
methods are implemented in is covered by the standard at all.
