udev.permissions: symbolic group/owner broken
I noticed (after debugging for about an hour) that the calls to getgrnam() and getpwnam() in udev-add.c always fail when udev is statically linked to a recent glibc version (here:
Fedora glibc-2.3.2-57 on s390x).
Thinking about it a bit more, I found it to be fairly pointless to have a statically linked /sbin/udev in the root fs when it is not used on initramfs.
The obvious fix is not to link statically when building udev for glibc.
