OK, I guess we have found the culprit:

$ gcc -o blkgetsize blkgetsize.c
In file included from /usr/include/linux/fs.h:18,
                 from blkgetsize.c:3:
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h:22: error: syntax error before "pgoff_t"
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h:27: error: syntax error before "pgoff_t"
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h: In function `prio_tree_iter_init':
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h:29: error: `iter' undeclared (first use in this function)
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h:29: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h:29: error: for each function it appears in.)
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h:29: error: `root' undeclared (first use in this function)
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h:30: error: `r_index' undeclared (first use in this function)

I guess I'll have to contact glibc/kernel headers packager to sort this
problem out.

$ udevinfo -V
udevinfo, version 050

Output of ls -lR /dev/.udevdb on
http://users.telenet.be/fhimpe/hal/udevdb.txt

Thanks already for all your help!
