Well, that happens with every project that new compiler errors pop up with new
versions. In most cases they are trivial and hence changes are rather small
and quickly fixed.

No, that doesn't have to do anything with Apple code at all. And you actually
have two different issues here ...

... you don't have libuuid-dev installed and therefore you should have got a
warning by the configure script as well:
No UUID generate function found.
*** libgig will not be able to create DLSIDs in DLS and gig files.
*** Install libuuid from e2fsprogs to solve this. Package might be
called
*** uuid-dev, libext2fs2-devel or e2fsprogs-devel.
I just changed that to a hard error and instead of just a soft configure
warning message that could be overseen. But of course you still need to
install the library as told by the configure error to resolve this issue on
your side.
Background: At the beginning of libgig the presence of an UUID generating
function was just an optional feature, because having no UUIDs when modifying
or creating new .gig files just prevented those .gig files from being accepted
by Tascam's GSt. However nowadays you even would get misbehaviours when you
stay entirely in the Linux eco space, hence I decided to make that a hard
dependency for libgig.

That's indeed because of new compilers becoming more picky. I just fixed that
as well now.
