No, BR2_PACKAGE_MAKEDEVS is for compiling makedevs to run on the target
(unlikely to be interesting).

Don't you have build/host-makedevs built? It seems to work here.

 William> Also am I right to think that TARGET_DEVICE_TABLE has been removed?

Yes, it was removed in 64ec20e6c0 - Replaced by BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE.

That file isn't used anywhere - I've removed it now.
