That I have already checked.
[r...@omvm6 ~]# ls -ld /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 Jun 13 00:32 /dev/tty
[r...@omvm6 ~]#
I have written, that after copying su executable from RHEL4 on RHEL5, it
is working. There must be some issue with coreutils-5.97.

The su command appears to be working properly. The problem shown
above is that your system is missing the /dev/tty device node.
Something has apparently removed it! You can confirm this by running
the following.
ls -ld /dev/tty
You could repair your system by creating that device node. See the
'mknod' documentation for how.
