Sorry, I found problem.  ;-<
ieee1394if is not match in etc/MAKEDEV.awk

  etc/MAKEDEV.awk ---

                # print it to output, otherwise scrap it.
                parsed = ""
                while (match(deventry, /%[a-z]*_(blk|chr)%/)) {
                        nam = substr(deventry, RSTART + 1, RLENGTH - 6);
                        typ = substr(deventry, RSTART + RLENGTH - 4, 3);

  --- etc/MAKEDEV.awk

May I erase it now?
I can replace it.
