udev.permissions: symbolic group/owner broken

udev.permissions: symbolic group/owner broken

[Arnd Bergmann]

I noticed (after debugging for about an hour) that the calls 
to getgrnam() and getpwnam() in udev-add.c always fail when
udev is statically linked to a recent glibc version (here:
Fedora glibc-2.3.2-57 on s390x).

Thinking about it a bit more, I found it to be fairly pointless
to have a statically linked /sbin/udev in the root fs when it
is not used on initramfs.

The obvious fix is not to link statically when building
udev for glibc.
