Ivan, All,

As Peter said, makedev is directly compiled from its single source file
in Buildroot's tree, so no way to patch it with the standard package
infrastructure.

However, your patch looks like it would provide an interesting feature
that we want in Buildroot.

Would you mind officially contributing your patch so we can apply it?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
