[kenneth at orion]:adapter5$ perl -e '@s=stat("/dev/dvb/adapter4/demux0"); print "@s\n";'

I was not able to build it with klibc, crapped out on some header replaced by
gcc. Moving that away temporary and including sys/stat.h in udev.c makes it go.
So now I'm running with a static udev and klibc.

[kenneth at orion]:adapter4$ perl -e '@s=stat("demux0"); print "@s\n";'
10 132218 8624 1 0 44 1102852 0 1110415562 1110415562 1110415562 4096 0

[kenneth at orion]:adapter4$ szap -a 4 -n 1
reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf'
zapping to 1 'DTV2 (Cable)':
sat 0, frequency = 11247 MHz V, symbolrate 24500000, vpid = 0x0201, apid = 0x0284
using '/dev/dvb/adapter4/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter4/demux0'
status 02 | signal 0000 | snr 3747 | ber 00009308 | unc 00000000 |

Looks like that did the trick (the card is not connected right now)!

Note that I only needed to recompile udev, no other package was touched.
