BusyBox version v1.34.1, which could not be selected

"makedevs" returns "0" if it fails because a device_table file does not exist


return code should be >0:

$ makedevs -d /does/not/exist /tmp ; echo ret:$?
rootdir=/tmp
table='/does/not/exist'
makedevs: /does/not/exist: No such file or directory
ret:0


return code as expected >0:

$ makedevs -d /does/not/exist /does/not/exist ; echo ret:$?
makedevs: can't change directory to '/does/not/exist': No such file or directory
ret:1
