It can depend on CONFIG_NITPICK to eventually show a
CONFIG_RESIZE_TERMIOS_TIMEOUT config entry. But it's so trivial to
change in the source, than i'm fond of talking about it.
I thought that you and rpjday wanted to empower users to toggle stuff
with the configury so they do not have to edit the source. Maybe i
remember incorrectly or misunderstood your and/or rpjday's intentions.
*shrug*.

The kernel makefile guy explicitely stated that we're better off to use
the more generic klibc stuff, so why do you want to disregard his hint?
Just curious..

What the  are you talking about? If a terminal doesn't respond for
whatever reason, why is that a bug?
