I changed udev to only check for /etc/init.d/sysfs. See Bug #252493.
The only place where librc checking is kept is only run on older 
openrc-versions which are no longer available via ebuild.

I hope this will make udev work on any system regardless of how /lib and stuff 
is linked. (For further analysis perhaps someone on a multilib profile can 
check where udev still has /lib/xxx hardcoded instead of /lib64/xxx or 
similar).

Should I nevertheless add such a blocker to udev or will that make update 
unnecessary complicated?
