Found it. inotify_init1() is a stub function on Alpha. A heated
discussion *somewhere* produced a udev patch that *may* work:
--- a/udev/udev-watch.c
+++ b/udev/udev-watch.c
@@ -38,8 +38,10 @@ static int inotify_fd = -1;
*/
int udev_watch_init(struct udev *udev)
{
- inotify_fd = inotify_init1(IN_CLOEXEC);
- if (inotify_fd < 0)
+ inotify_fd = inotify_init();
+ if (inotify_fd >= 0)
+ util_set_fd_cloexec(inotify_fd);
+ else
err(udev, "inotify_init failed: %m\n");
return inotify_fd;
}
(Formatting of the above is probably bogus due to conversion from a
formatted html presentation, but the gist of the fix should be apparent).
Time to retrieve the source package and rebuild it...
