There is this is my glibc rpm changelog:

* vr jan 21 2005 Gwenole Beauchesne <gbeauchesne at mandrakesoft.com> 2.3.4-2mdk

- update to 2.6.10 kernel headers
- add memory clobbers in asm-i386 syscalls as arguments may be
  pointers to modifiable memory and values need to be reloaded
  (e.g. _llseek() in util-linux)

Which version would I need?

Does not seem to make a difference (I already run udev btw).

There's only a .udevdb directory. Moving it and running udestart does not
change anything... Weird...
