sys-apps/busybox is built with CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVFS for some reason which causes it to use deprecated names /dev/loop/#.

On one hand, there's always 'savedconfig'. On the other, perhaps ebuild should use defconfig instead of allyesconfig.
Well https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269359. I believe DEVFS should be explicitly disabled for Gentoo. Actually it should not be enabled by default as supposed in source code: include/libbb.h: #elif ENABLE_FEATURE_DEVFS /*Linux, obsolete devfs names */ <...> #else /*Linux, normal names */ <...>
Actually, you're looking at the wrong file - check miscutils/Config.src.
I just wanted to day that developers didn't expect someone to enable it by default. It's clear from the comment that it is not a “feature”-option, but a “workaround”. Using allyesconfig here is a really bad idea. But anyway ebuild contains a list of explicitly disabled options. I wonder why DEVFS is not there.
s/to day/to say/
busybox-1.18.4 no longer enables the devfs option
As of now, CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVFS=y still appears in the .config created by "make allyesconfig" and busybox mount -o loop still fails.
