Comment (by dmichelsen):

 Of course you are right, please discard my patch. The problem is as
 follows: the system has /usr/include/uuid/uuid.h without
 `uuid_unparse_lower` and we have an additional
 /opt/csw/include/uuid/uuid.h with `uuid_unparse_lower` which is detected.
 However, in the linking phase the `-luuid` is too early hence the
 `/usr/lib/libuuid.so` is pulled in missing the function resulting in the
 linkage error:

 {{{
 /bin/bash ./libtool  --tag=CXX   --mode=link /opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC
 -library=stlport4 -features=tmplife   -xO3 -m32 -xarch=sparc -lm   -lz -lm
 -luuid -lm  -lnsl  ...
 }}}

 Maybe the exact location of libuuid.so could be specified during
 configure-time?
