this is what i do
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib --bindir=/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc 
--libexecdir=/lib  --disable-rule_generator --disable-introspection 
--disable-keymap --disable-gudev --with-usb-ids-path=no 
--with-pci-ids-path=no    --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no   
--with-firmware-path=/lib/firmware

move the pkg-config file to /usr/lib/

ln -sfv /lib/udev/udevd /sbin/udevd

i've changed the bootscripts slightly to take into account , devtmps on 
/dev, the /run dir, udev just being a permission and group changing util 
now, my /tmp is also a tmpfs so i don't need to clean it out every time 
i reboot

could send you a patch to see what you think
