Udev depends on a 2.6 kernel. :) The udev build depends on
kernel-headers, which contain the features udev uses. 

Older udev versions used to work around missing pieces, but all of the
needed features like netlink uevent, inotify are mainstream for several
years now, and therefore no longer provided by the udev source code.
