If you don't pass any special options (such as prefix=/), the behavior
of putting device nodes in /usr/local/dev is indeed correct (it's useful
for e.g. debugging udev without screwing up the real /dev).

FYI you can override this by editing the udev configuration file (e.g.
the one in /usr/local/etc/udev/udev.conf if you don't pass stuff
to ./configure), e.g. just put

 udev_root="/dev"

in the file and you should be all set.
