I have devfs and devfsd, so I can use either /dev/vcc/<n> or /dev/vcs<n> but the tty command reports the real (devfs) device name. Please don't be confused if tty reports /dev/vcs<n> I guess the easiest way to work around it would be to recompile the kernel and modules with the gcc you have installed.
