>Description:
When doing an unprived build on a non-netbsd host pax will use netbsd
macros to construct netbsd dev_t when it reads the mtree spec file:

sbin/mknod/pack_dev.c:pack_netbsd()

However when an archive is written, pax will use host's native
major/minor macros to decompose that dev_t - which results in bogus
major/minor.

In my case (cross building for NetBSD/sparc on a FreeBSD/i386 host),
it chokes on the minor number for:

./dev/dtya type=char device=netbsd,12,524288 mode=0600 uname=uucp gname=wheel

with

pax: Ustar header field is too small for ./dev/dtya

because ustar_wr decomposes netbsd's dev_t value with native macros
and gets minor 2147483648 (2^31) instead of 524288 (2^19)

>How-To-Repeat:
try building an unprived release on a host with a dev_t internal structure that is different from the netbsd dev_t.
