cannot create fifo `build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/dev/initctl': File exists

A first build was fine.
During a second build:

$ LANG=C make debian/rootfs
if [ ! -f /usr/src/debwrt/build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/etc/init.d/rcS.debian -a -e /usr/src/debwrt/build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/etc/init.d/rcS ]; then \
                sudo mv -v /usr/src/debwrt/build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/etc/init.d/rcS /usr/src/debwrt/build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/etc/init.d/rcS.debian; \
        fi
if [ ! -f /usr/src/debwrt/build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/dev/initctl ]; then  \
                sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/debwrt/build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/dev;         \
                sudo mkfifo   /usr/src/debwrt/build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/dev/initctl; \
        fi
mkfifo: cannot create fifo `/usr/src/debwrt/build/rootfs-mipsel-angel-2.0-1/dev/initctl': File exists
make: *** [debian/rootfs/files-install] Error 1

The pipe allready exists
