>Description:
checkflist appears to ignore device nodes under $DESTDIR/dev, but not directories or symlinks, so running MAKEDEV in $DESTDIR/dev (in order to make it work as a functional chroot, e.g. with /dev/null, /dev/stdin, &c.) has the effect of breaking checkflist.  This is annoying for iterating development and testing in a chroot.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && build.sh ... distribution
cd $DESTDIR/dev && sh MAKEDEV all
cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && build.sh ... distribution
>Fix:
Yes, please!
