Note:
There are a number of different flags that you can use when building
udev. They are as follows:
- prefix - set this to the default root that you want udev to be
+ prefix
+ set this to the default root that you want udev to be
installed into. This works just like the 'configure --prefix'
script does. Default value is ''. Only override this if you
really know what you are doing.
- USE_KLIBC - if set to 'true', udev is built and linked against the included
- version of klibc. Default value is 'false'.
- DEBUG - if set to 'true', debugging messages will be sent to the syslog
- as udev is run. Default value is 'false'.

+ USE_LOG
+ if set to 'true', udev will emit messages to the syslog when
+ it creates or removes device nodes. This is helpful to see

development headers and libraries be present on your system to
build properly. Default value is 'false'.

So, if you want to build udev using klibc with debugging messages, you
would do:
