What's the exact error message?

(In future, please submit patches in unidiff format, as produced by
"cvs diff -u".)

MAKEDEV.awk already contains the line 'if (CONSOLE_CMAJOR == "") {'.
If you have a copy with 'if ( length(CONSOLE_CMAJOR) == 0) {' then
I don't know where you obtained it.

As far as I can tell from reading
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/awk.html>,
both variants should be acceptable.
