libudev.h is included in path.c and that function has been there for approximately forever. We add the udev cflags and libs to the makefile and it's present in your output ("-ludev"). Could this be a broken installation of libudev.so? I can't think of a reason why just that function would fail when it finds the libudev.h header and all other udev functions are fine.
ping?
Dear Peter, thank you for your quick reply and sorry for my late one.

I need some more time to investigate this. I’ll close the ticket until then.
