I would like to propose adding the attached patch.

I have recently tried compiling sage-mathematics at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14429 in a clean chroot.
I encountered a semlock, permission denied error. So I had to enable /dev/shm in the chroot.
Then I encountered a "unable to run gap error" which I later found out that it is caused by not having /dev/pts.
After patching in both, sage-mathematics successfully compiled.

devtools 0.9.7-1
   mountpoints.diff (0.9 KiB)
This task depends upon

Sorry, didn't had time to look into it. But there will be a new version of devtools as I need other things to add too.

The only thing I wonder is if its wise to share shm and pts between host and chroot.

It is also possible to mount shm and pts as described here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/kernfs.html
This wouldn't bind them. But I still couldn't find anything wrong with binding them.

Note: I asked Ghost1227 to apply this patch on his pkgbuild.com server and there haven't been any issues yet.
Patch was applied the day this feature request was opened.
