ifdef shuffling: TIOCMC[GS]ET ioctls are not specified by POSIX,
so we can't assume they are present just because we HAVE_TERMIOS_H. Conversely, if they are present then the subsidiary flags TIOCM_{DTR|RTS} are almost certainly there as well, so that ifdeffery can be removed. And lastly, ifdefs for TIOCSBRK/TIOCCBRK are still needed. (Those are logically separate functions even though TIP#35 lumped them together with DTR and RTS in -ttycontrol. POSIX provides tcsendbreak() for this purpose, but that interface doesn't fit with the TIP#35 API.) KNOWN DEFECT: if a hypothetical Unix system is missing TIOCMCGET but has TIOCSBRK/TIOCCBRK, the latter function will nevertheless be unavailable. Accounting for this possibility does not strike me as being worth the ifdefs.
