Fakeroot.

Scratchbox's mknod is magical: it creates the device node
"/targets/TARGET/dev/NODE" when you invoke "mknod /dev/NODE ...", but it
only succeeds with fakeroot.  The idea is to create device nodes and
package them up ("mkfs.jffs2 --root /targets/TARGET ...") while in the
same fakeroot session (or by saving+loading the fakeroot database).
