Description

Hi

I have the build failing with this error message:

Pseudo file "dev" exists in source filesystem "/builder/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a9+vfpv3-d16_musl_eabi/root-mvebu/dev". Ignoring, exclude it (-e/-ef) to override.

The target is the linksys wrt32x.

Could you please help solve this ?

Regards
