It's possible (first time) to compile util-linux without libudev,
compile systemd/udevd and then again recompile util-linux with
libudev.

IMHO libudev is very useful for findmnt and lsblk to get info about
devices.

Note that uuidd is absolutely unnecessary if you don't have huge SAP
installation (-- it means unnecessary for 99% of the all Linux users).
