Adding in the accept4 syscalls isn't hard at all. They were added in 2.6.32, they just weren't wired up until 2.6.36 (for arm) - Eudev handles a kernel that doesn't have accept4, udev claims it needs something newer than 2.6.32, if you add the accept4 wiring up, you can just edit the udev check for kver-min. Wiring it up takes like 3 lines change in the kernel - this is what I did for the efikamx "linux-legacy" kernel - https://github.com/genesi/linux-legacy/commit/a84fac75f38de592e530a2f9f982d7aafec6c288
