Ups - the error is not reproducible for me. I think you can just close this bug.
I'd like to open this back up, since I just ran into the same problem with MediaWiki 1.6.8. The culprit is --disable-posix ... When attempting to upgrade an old, old wiki from 1.4.5 to 1.6.8, I ran across the following problem: ------- $ php upgrade1_5.php piratedgames 2006-09-06 05:22:29: Checking cur table for unique title index and applying if necessary piratedgames: cur table has the old non-unique index and may have duplicate entries. Checking for duplicate cur table entries... (this may take a while on a large wiki) Found 0 titles with duplicate entries. Done. piratedgames 2006-09-06 05:22:30: ...converting from cur/old to page/revision/text DB structure. piratedgames 2006-09-06 05:22:30: Creating page and revision tables... PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: posix_isatty() in /www/piratedgames.net/htdocs/wiki/includes/Database.php on line 469 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: posix_isatty() in /www/piratedgames.net/htdocs/wiki/includes/Database.php on line 469 ------- The documentation on posix-isatty() <http://php.net/posix_isatty> barely exists. However, the main POSIX page in the manual <http://php.net/manual/en/ref.posix.php> clearly states that "POSIX functions are enabled by default. You can disable POSIX-like functions with --disable-posix". So, Database.php expects certain POSIX functions to exist, and they don't on my build. As far as I can tell, the MediaWiki documentation does not mention that MediaWiki requires PHP to be compiled with the POSIX functions, or that using --disable-posix will create problems. For those of us with hardened systems who want to run 1.6.x or 1.7.x, this clearly presents a problem.

MediaWiki assumes you haven't gone out of your way to break PHP.
Marking this FIXED. Install/update has checked function_exists( 'posix_isatty' ) for awhile now.
