BTW: As for /usr/share/pkgconfig/udev.pc: that .pc file is installed to make clear where udev and its rules files are installed. As it's not a library, there's nothing wrong with installing it there. Rule files are quite the same on i686 and x86_64.

Thanks for the explanation. Indeed you are right about udev. I was hesitating for a moment as there are some architecture dependent libs in /lib/udev. However, you are right udev.pc only covers the rule files, and there is a separate architecture dependent libudev.pc installed correctly in /usr/lib{,32}. Cheers, Tom
