Is there a way to build udev without requiring this call? The discussions with the minimal kernel version for our glibc did not even venture beyond the .24 version...

Udev is replaceable with static dev or even older version without breaking too many things (though this new libudev and libgudev will change that a bit), for glibc, it means binaries compiled on arch can't ever run on older kernels, so we're talking about different things here.
