cdfc721b8d Update pt_chown sections of the manual 
The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section
without clarification of the needed configure option.  Clarify this
and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring
and compiling" section.

e4608715e6 CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown. 
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another
user's pseudo-terminal.

Pre-conditions for the attack:

 * Attacker with local user account
 * Kernel with FUSE support
 * "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf
 * Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts

Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file
descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and
trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current
user does not own.  It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however.

In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts
is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building
and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option
to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own
risk.

e98cdb38ee Remove mention of i386-pc-linux-gnu. 
The GNU C Library does not support building for i386
therefore we remove mention of this configuration
from the INSTALL file.
