isatty()

Hello.
I see in the sources that isatty() is not handled as the other syscalls:
- there is no _isatty_r() in reent
- there is no _isatty() at all
- there is no isatty() in syscalls
- libgloss implements directly isatty(), not _isatty()
There is the usual errno problem:
For example, the implementation of isatty() in libnosys fills "extern
int errno", but the user applications will read __errno_r(_REENT)
instead. Usually, the errno translation occurs in the _r function, but
in this case, the _r function does not exist.
However, this is not a big issue, because errno is rarely read after
calling isatty().
Is there a reason for the spacial handling of isatty() ?
