So you install a new version of udev and don't kill the old udevd
program?  That's not good at all.  Remember, if you set DEST_DIR, that
doesn't get called.  That is there to allow you to build and not mess
with any running services (as is needed on rpm and deb build machines.)

That's not how you build things in the extras directory (as per the
documentation.)

Did you try:
	make USE_LOG=true EXTRAS="extras/run_directory"
?  That should work just fine, and if not, please let us know.  There's
a script in the test directory that builds everything with all options
to determine if we break anything.  Have you tried that?

Ok, and as I don't think you are building things correctly, I don't
think this patch is needed :)
