>Description:
/dev/null of Solaris 10 is a symbolic link to /devices/pseudo/mm@0:null.

# ll null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jul 17 18:35 null -> ../devices/pseudo/mm@0:null

Bootstrapping of ninja-build overwrites this link to normal file.

# ll null
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 452 Jul 17 18:33 null

The norma nulll file prevents to make package of ninja-build.

bootstrapping ninja...
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/ninja-build
# make
# make package
>Fix:
unknown. You can find 'MAKECONF=/dev/null' in the bootstrapping, this may be related.

workaround:
After make the package, relink /dev/null: 

ln -s ../devices/pseudo/mm@0:null null

And then we can make package or make install as usual.
