coreutils on Alpine 3.20 breaks /dev

[jaclu]

If I install coreutils on Alpine 3.20
iSH does not seem to be able to handle /dev resources.

All maj numbers are non POSIX and all min numbers are 0
mknod can't be used to restore devices

As soon as coreutils is removed things go back to normal.

Up to Alpine 3.19 coreutils can be used.

Turns out this is a bug in musl that was fixed last month (https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2024/09/13/17) but hasn't made it to a release yet. However, it can be worked around by simply implementing statx.
