The line 10964 is the following:

   PKG_CHECK_MODULES(libudev, libudev, have_libudev=yes, have_libudev=no)

When building media-ctl by hand following this 
(http://www.dobots.nl/blog/-/blogs/in-the-spotlight-linux-) is works 
nicelly. When looking at the configure file generated when building by 
hand the 10964 is completely different... I have checked that in both 
case I use autoreconf 2.68.

You say that it works fine for you ? Which version of buildroot do you use ?

Please find below the way that configure is called. Could you please 
copy-paste me your call of configure ?
