Well, actually, it's a granularity issue in the src/sbin/Makefile and its
conditional handling of devd based on NO_CXX without taking into account
whether we're building or installing. Hence my comments about needing to
provide some make infrastructure, since devd isn't the only component that
falls into precisely this pit:
SUBDIR= adjkerntz \
...
${_devd} \
...
.if !defined(NO_CXX)
_devd= devd
.endif
