No, what they discuss is how to solve " version `UUID_1.0' not found"
problem, basically you need
patches = [('libuuid.sym', '%(builddir)s')]
preconfigopts = 'LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS
-Wl,--version-script=%(builddir)s/libuuid.sym"'
in your libuuid easyconfig and you can get the patch from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karelzak/util-linux/master/libuuid/src/libuuid.sym
Now that I've written that much, I might as well open that PR myself...
