I just tried building the UUIDPlugin on 64bit AMD and it works fine.
I ran it under gdb and stepped through the primitive just to be sure
it was running, and there were no problems.

Perhaps there is a problem with your libuuid installation? I installed
only the 64bit uuid library (usr/lib64/libuuid.so) when I tried this.
Perhaps if the 32bit library is also installed, it could cause confusion.
