ports/emulators/linux_base-8 install problem

[John Prather]

Hello,

Any reason linux_base-8 insists upon successfully using mknod in the 
installation in directories in the WRKDIRPREFIX, which may or may not be 
mounted with nodev option, and in my case resides within a jail, where 
mknod reports:

mknod: 
/usr/local/ports/work/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8/work/linux_base-8-8.0/dev/null: 
Operation not permitted

Perhaps, since 5.x has been out for a while, some way of getting 
linux_base to use devfs instead of mknod might be nice?  I am told 6.x 
won't allow mknod at all, regardless of jail presence.
