Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH]check for makedev in ext/posix(5.1 tree) (Build
	failure in NetWare)
From: kameshj@fastmail.fm ("Kamesh Jayachandran")

Hi Derick,
Our LibC implementation of mknod as of today allows creation of regular
file, regular dir and fifo only. 
It does not support Character and Block device creation. 
The documentation of NetWare LibC mandates dev argument to mknod to be
0.(Which currently the case with php_dev=0).
May be when makdev is implemented this code will automatically take care
of the new functionality without any change in the code with just the
change in new set of LibC headers.

With regards
Kamesh Jayachandran
