SANE is biting you.  SANE contains all manner of bits you may not need.
Try not using SANE but listing the modes individually.

The System V we have here does not all you to remove modes with -CLOCAL [ a
problem with SANE is that it may turn off modem control for modems or turn
it on for hardwired terminals ] so we list the flags out the long way.

Once you have written a new gettydef you will need to see if you are getting
the correct flags by compiling the gettydefs file.  Use the '-c' option to
getty to check the flags which are going to be used.  This will save you
the effort of calling yourself on the phone.
