I'm not sure about this.

Two things:

1) Have we ever tested udev on a target where its ${base_libdir} is 
'/lib64'?
Apparently, if udevd is intalled under '/lib64', its init script cannot 
start udev correctly.

2) Bug#2804 is related to to udev and ${base_libdir}.
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2804
(Some packages hardcode their udev rules directory to be 
'/lib/udev/rules.d/'. So can udev find them if the ${base_libdir} is 
'/lib64'? )
