Errors in MAKEDEV.  I'm not sure if someone environmental changed at some
point, or if this is a side-effect of the "be more like RH" patches I applied
a while back.  I'll upload a -31 shortly that fixes these.  Note that 'sonycd'
as a target creates /dev/sonycd, the 'cdu31a' is a red herring and will be 
gone with this upload.

The *right* fix for this nonsense is a rewrite of makedev, which I'm going to
do, but not until after potato...  in the meantime, let me know if you see 
any other problems, and I'll hack around them for you quickly.
