Umm, builds are broken without my change? :-) Builds work with it? :-) 

I'm not sure how much detail you want, it's just a garden variety .OBJDIR fix.

But to answer your question...  src/etc/Makefile has the somewhat unusual
job of installing direct from .CURDIR, whereas normally files are installed
from .OBJDIR. ETC_INSTALL_FILE is a local make(1) procedure that cd's back to
the source dir before running INSTALL_FILE.  But today, a change was
checked in that delete's the zillion per-port MAKEDEV's and installs a
script-generated one.  So, it's back to plain INSTALL_FILE for MAKEDEV.
