Hello Sami and Karel,

you were involved in changing script(1) to use signalfd, which
is apparently Linux-specific but util-linux also is used, at
least in Debian, on other kernels, such as the FreeBSD and Hurd
ones (FSVO “kernel”, for the latter).

I need script(1) available, to get a controlling tty inside a
headless build for example (and because it’s a very basic part
of a Unix system anyway).

Please see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=807071
for the full story and help implement a mode in which script(1)
will function on nōn-Linux again (incidentally the code comes from
FreeBSD in the first place).

Thanks in advance,
//mirabilos
