As far as I can tell the only use of /dev by the build scripts
themselves is to write to /dev/null.  The scripts are copied around
and invoked via ssh, so there are pty devices being accessed too.  I
can't immediately think of anything else.

The actual package builds (which may do other /dev operations) are
done in a chroot, which has its own copy of /dev and is on a UFS
filesystem on disk (/x), so that's apparently ruled out as being a
factor here.
