Installing a FreeBSD bash won't help either, this script expects
/bin/bash which will never exist on FreeBSD (it's installed in
/usr/local/bin/bash).

Well, first /compat/linux is *not* a chroot or jail, but actually just
some kind of "filesystem overlay", which is the great thing about it. It
means Linux binaries can access *all* files of the FreeBSD system, as
long as they are not "shadowed" by something below /compat/linux.

And indeed, to support building native Linux software using poudriere,
it *should* mount devfs on /compat/linux/dev.

In a live system, there's no issue. /etc/rc.d/linux will mount all
necessary pseudo filesystems:

| if checkyesno linux_mounts_enable; then
|         linux_mount linprocfs "${_emul_path}/proc" -o nocover
|         linux_mount linsysfs "${_emul_path}/sys" -o nocover
|         linux_mount devfs "${_emul_path}/dev" -o nocover
|         linux_mount fdescfs "${_emul_path}/dev/fd" -o nocover,linrdlnk
|         linux_mount tmpfs "${_emul_path}/dev/shm" -o nocover,mode=3D1777
| fi

So far, poudriere doesn't mount anything on /compat/linux/dev for its
building jails, although it *does* mount /compat/linux/proc.

For now, I found that a simple symlink to the real /dev also does the
trick, which I can add with some hackery in the port Makefile itself, by
adding some extra prerequisite for "build-depends" when a poudriere
build is detected. In the long run, poudriere should mount a real devfs
though.

Cheers, Felix
