Note that configure checks for openssl libraries only to be able to do
some comparative benchmarsks in src/nettle/examples/nettle-benchmark,
it's not used for anything else. pkgconfig is also not used as far as
I'm aware.

Does AIX have any tty group? lshd tries to make sure that the gid of
the tty nodes is set to the group "tty", and then make the nodes
writable by the group and readable and writable by the user.

Would some other behaviour be more appropriate on AIX?

The error reporting could be a little more verbose... It seems the
function pty_open_slave in src/server_pty.c fails.

To figure out why, you could try setting a break point on that
function to see what happens, or add some more logging of progress and
failures.

Is HAVE_STROPTS_H defined in your config.h?
