s.rpath.com/browse/RMK-634

Description:
    When building packages, rMake creates device files in
the change
    root environments in which the packages are built.  In
previous
    versions of rMake, the "/dev/zero" file had
incorrect device number
    and ownership, which might allow a user to execute
arbitrary code
    as the superuser.
