Yes after I removed the fcntl call the terminal seems to behave as before.
It still does not print the closing bracket of
//> init started: BusyBox v1.13.0 (2008-11-12 20:52:59 CET
//but besides that it is working afterwards.

the system is a ppc823, with linux-2.4.36
the kernel command line includes "console=ttyS0,9600"
which is mapped to the SMC1
