How will your non-glibc userspace packages use inotify?
Yes, glibc has support for its syscalls, but the LLH headers do not, and
AFAIK glibc doesn't install headers for it; userspace programs therefore
won't be able to detect support for it, and likely won't use it.
The only application I'm aware of that uses Inotify is gnome-vfs which
seems to be working fine. Compiled without Gamin or FAM it is still
aware of changes to files and folders and passes the info on to
Nautilus. I don't know how it all works (IANAP), but it does.
