Probably so.  At least, we should surround the function body with  
#ifdef TIOCGWINSZ (and some suitable default).

The problem comes up during bootstrapping, so we don't have a chance  
for configuration yet.  OTOH, the terminal property is not at all  
critical.  It would be fine to say the terminal width defaults to 80.
