If userspace wants odd parity, then c_cflag must have both
PARENB and PARODD set.

Just PARODD does nothing.

>From SUS v4, General Terminal Interface, 11.2.4 Control Modes;

"If PARENB is set, parity generation and detection shall be enabled
and a parity bit is added to each byte. If parity is enabled, PARODD
shall specify odd parity if set; otherwise, even parity shall be used."
