pkg-config file is taken care of with our make install command so  
that is well in CLFS.

is it proper to link udevd ?
In the FHS I don't see /libexec anyway, we should maybe make the  
libexec directory /sbin.
or /sbin/udev. /lib/udev is fine, but then why link it to /sbin ?

I agree we need the bindir to be /sbin.

The rule generator we need for people who want persistent devices,  
unless I'm wrong, that's what it is for. systemdsystemunitdir is no  
anyway with our builds.  Thanks for some confirmations, still unsure  
on libexec and udevd.

A patch would be good. We need to update the bootscripts.

I can test it and see what goes on then communicate with Jonathan  
when I see him as he oversees the bootscripts.
