Cool!

The following discussion is probably more appropriate for the nut-upsdev list:

Sure enough, when I looked at the comments in /usr/include/termios.h
from glibc, it has a POSIX reference, and /usr/include/sys/termios.h
simply includes the former file.

Actually, on the SVN trunk, dummycons has been replaced with what
appears to be a rewrite called dummy-ups, and it does not include
sys/termios.h. So it appears that the problem will go away soon. Also,
serial.h has an #ifdef switch that checks to see whether you have
sys/termios.h, and includes just termios.h if that's what is there.

If you have a chance to test the SVN trunk, instructions are here
under "Development tree":

Silly me, I should have known...
