Let's assume then that the problme had nothing to do with compilation and
urxvt, but was an administrative error in setting up tty permissions.

On GNU/Linux, urxvt uses the posix functions to allocate ttys. Normally,
all the devices are dynamically created by udev and devpts, so if you
played around with that, you need to fix it. The recommended way is not to
play with the defaults :)
