If you don't have the definition, you all but certainly don't have
support for it in your kernel, and a definition would do you no good at
all.  If you really really want to try it anyway, the value on our
system is 0x20007471, and the definition (which may not be compatible
with your include files' ioctl() defines, which is why I gave the
value) is

#define	TIOCNOTTY	_IO(t, 113)	/* void tty association */

On SysV, the function performed by TIOCNOTTY is, sort of, performed by
setpgrp().  I think.  (That function being to break the association
between a process and its control tty.)
