 Configuring xapian with

 ./configure --disable-backend-brass --disable-backend-chert --disable-
 backend-flint --disable-backend-inmemory --disable-backend-remote

 The build fails at compile time with:

 In file included from ./backends/brass/brass_version.h:27:0,
                  from api/compactor.cc:53:
 ./common/safeuuid.h:57:19: fatal error: uuid.h: No such file or directory
 compilation terminated.
 make[2]: *** [api/compactor.lo] Error 1
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/xapian-1.2.8/work
 /xapian-core-1.2.8'
 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/xapian-1.2.8/work
 /xapian-core-1.2.8'
 make: *** [all] Error 2

 This is because of line 694 of configure.ac where the header check is done
 in

 case $enable_backend_flint$enable_backend_chert$enable_backend_brass in


 I didn't attach a patch because I'm not sure if at least one backend must
 be defined or the header check should be made with all backends disabled.
