Thanks for pointing out! I'll do that. When it fails with a newer
glibc, we should get test case failures and thus it should be rather
obvious where things need fixing.

I guess that still means we'd either need a libudev-test.so or a shell
wrapper and the libpath.so thing around all tests, and thus
build/ship the two as part of a libudev install. That's something
which I considered to be more ugly, but if Kay prefers that, I'll look
into this.

libudev already has something like that, it has the TEST_PREFIX macro
everywhere. So I don't think it's actually getting much worse, but
with a preloaded library we wouldn't need the TEST_PREFIX thing any
more either.

So the trade is "add the get_prefix() calls to the path name build
calls" vs. "maintain/build/install a preload library".

Thanks,

Martin
