I also had to specify UDEVADM on the configure line (I suspect because
it is not in $PATH for regular users). The first time I did so I gave
the wrong path:
        $ UDEVADM=/usr/sbin/udevadm ./configure 
        [...]
        checking for udevadm... /usr/sbin/udevadm
        ./configure: line 6484: /usr/sbin/udevadm: No such file or directory
        ./configure: line 6486: test: -lt: unary operator expected

If we think this check should be kept then it needs to learn to check
for things in paths other than $PATH and also have the error handling
fixed.

With this and removing the brctl check I was able to run configure
successfully.

Ian.
