I checked my build logs and that isn't true on 4-stable. I don't have anything
in /etc/make.conf. The following operations were done with MAKEDEV.
bworld-20001103-1109.log:rm -f MAKEDEV.8.gz MAKEDEV.8.cat.gz
bworld-20001103-1109.log:rm -f MAKEDEV.8.gz MAKEDEV.8.cat.gz
bworld-20001103-1109.log:gzip -cn /usr/src/share/man/man8/man8.i386/MAKEDEV.8 >
MAKEDEV.8.gz
iworld-20001018-1103.log:install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 MAKEDEV.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/i386
iworld-20001018-1103.log:/usr/share/man/man8/i386/../MAKEDEV.8.gz ->
