I'll look into that later ...

Gasgui reads package info from packages.db, which also contains the cksum 
listings. Build-Pkg creates cksums and md5sums for package files, and also 
stores file sizes in the cksum listings (/var/adm/cksums/). 

Since /lib/udev/devices/core links to /proc/kcore, cksum, md5sum and size of 
the /proc/kcore of the build system are stored in the package metadata.

The package size however is correct (displayed with 'mine -p'), as it is 
calculated by other means.

Checking udev for changed files with 'mine -y udev'  currently always 
shows /lib/udev/devices/core as modified, and will hang because it probably 
tries to read from /lib/udev/devices/stdin...

I think a proper fix would be to ignore symbolic links and device files in 
cksum/md5sum creation and checks.
