 I only get this error when makedevs is run for the second time, i.e. when
building the tarball, not the ext2. But perhaps you took this log by re-running
the build?

 Anyway, the problem is pretty clear: mknod() errors out if the target file
already exists. So the surprising thing really is that it used to work under
fakeroot... I guess fakeroot just implemented its mknod()-wrapper incorrectly to
*not* give an error in that case.

 I guess the solution is to update makedevs to remove any pre-existing file
before creating it.
