I am looking at a problem where the build seems to remove /dev/null,
which is then created as a regular file (naturally). This did not
happen before.

# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jan 18 08:42 /dev/null
# make distclean
CLEAN scripts/basic
CLEAN scripts/kconfig
CLEAN include/config
CLEAN .config .config.old include/asm include/linux/autoconf.h include/linux/version.h .kernelrelease
# ls -l /dev/null
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47 Jan 18 08:42 /dev/null
