Sometimes I wonder why I assume something without checking! It happens to me too often that it then proves wrong! Here it is: I've discovered that findmnt was linked to libudev after second pass, and not after thefirst pass. But why have I assumed that findmnt was coming from e2fsprog???? e2fsprog does not even test libudev, and the only reference to udev is a reference to udev's rules directory needed for e2scrub. findmnt is from util-linux, and that one links to libudev if it is present. So eudev should be before util-linux, but I have to test that nothing depends on util-linux in eudev... Trying a build with eudev before util-linux ATM.
