glibc and musl cannot need a change that only affects the behaviour on
Solaris, AIX, and OSF/1. => There was no "immediate issue".

Actually the only benefit of the change is that on Solaris, the code now
uses <sys/mkdev.h> instead of <sys/sysmacros.h>. <sys/mkdev.h> is somewhat
cleaner (doesn't define unrelated old cruft).
