thanks for the explanation :-)

could you drop the link to linux source (IIRC ../../gregkh-2.5 ) 
in udev/klibc, and replace it with 
make KERNEL_DIR=......  USE_KLIBC=true

i've a small patch but it's only for udev,
and it doesn't work with " make USE_KLIBC=true EXTRAS=..."
it's mostly 
s:$(LINUX_INCLUDE_DIR)/kernel/include:$(KERNEL_DIR)/include:
in udev/Makefile & udev/klibc/MCONFIG

and i have a small issue with klibc compiled udev,
at least bk from a 1-2 days ago
most devicefs alike rules are followed, but not all
e.g the rule for loop devices is ignored by dev compailed against
klibc, but is followed by udev compiled against libc

there are two more small issues/ questions

could you change the sed rule for generating udev.conf
to use ":" instead "-" for separater, as  it's getting confused
if you install to RPM_BUILD_ROOT/udev-$(version)/
                                                              ^^^

and the question
how should i compile udev to use shared libraries,
not to link it staticaly? static udev using libc is arround 500k,
so it's a way too big for initrd, 
why not have a klibc udev static binary for initrd,
and a not static one against libc to manage the devices,
after root is mounted and the libraries are available

best,

svetljo
