udev fails, filling the screen with above error.

Please be a bit more precise. Where does it fail? During emerge or while running?
If it fails during emerge, please attach the build.log file to this bug.

[Comment 3 Tom Prince 2009-06-02 14:37:14 UTC]

The message starts filling the screen after the udev service is started.

[Comment 4 Matthias Schwarzott 2009-06-13 09:54:03 UTC]

I know nothing about uclibc, but maybe uclibc maintainers can shed some light on this.

there is a problem with the ppoll function.
this seriously need some further investigation.

[Comment 7 Erik Hoppe 2009-06-18 20:32:19 UTC]

forget about the ppoll workarround patch i submitted earlier.
this is a problem in uclibc

checkout openwrt repository for a proper fix
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/toolchain/uClibc/patches-0.9.30.1/300-fix-ppoll.diff

[Comment 8 Tibor Vago 2009-07-20 07:50:57 UTC]

Yeah, the openwrt's patch is really works fine, and usable in gentoo!

I was compile the uclibc in the way:

ebuild uclibc-0.9.30.1-r1.ebuild unpack
cd $workdir
patch -p1 -i 300-fix-ppoll.diff
ebuild uclibc-0.9.30.1-r1.ebuild compile install qmerge

Then recompile udev and rebooted the system, and the errors was gone.
If it is possible please apply to the portage tree.

[Comment 9 Tibor Vago 2009-07-20 07:52:56 UTC]

Sorry, "patch -p0 -i 300-fix-ppoll.diff" was the correct command.

I now added >=sys-fs/glibc-2.7 to udev to get signalfd
How should this be modified for uclibc ?

|| ( >=sys-fs/glibc-2.7 ???? )

I know that in this case we should not pull glibc, but I want to know if (and since which version) uclibc does provide /usr/include/sys/signalfd.h.
So I could either write
|| ( >=sys-fs/glibc-2.7
     >=sys-libs/uclibc-xxx )

or
elibc_glibc? ( >=sys-fs/glibc-2.7 )
elibc_uclibc? ( >=sys-libs/uclibc-xxx )

In bug 283146 comment #2, it is reported that udev-141 works with uclibc-0.9.28.3-r8.

[Comment 15 SpanKY 2009-08-30 22:29:12 UTC]

that's because i backported a bunch of fixes for stable uClibc/udev.  that doesnt mean newer uclibc's (unstable) are working.

[Comment 16 Matthias Schwarzott 2009-09-06 12:51:02 UTC]

So once there is a version of uclibc with which the latest udev ebuild compiles, tell me to add an appropriate depend in it or do it yourself.

[Comment 17 SpanKY 2012-04-22 22:25:06 UTC]

should be fixed with newer uclibc versions
