By the way, with a well-made RPM, you can use 'yum-builddep <SRPM>'.
So you could do:

$ rpmbuild -bs udev.spec
$ sudo yum-builddep udev-<version>-<release>.src.rpm

This will automatically install all build dependencies needed to build
the binary RPM.  By the way, you can safely use --nodeps with
'rpmbuild -bp' because the %prep stage should merely be uncompressing
any code archive files, and applying patches.
