It turns out that the misc/e2fsprog-libuuid added
/usr/local/include/uuid/uuid.h. I've uninstalled the package. Doing
that, and adding -m32, config.log tells me

conftest.c:69:23: error: uuid/uuid.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:73: error: 'uuid_generate' undeclared (first use in this function)
conftest.c:73: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
conftest.c:73: error: for each function it appears in.)
configure:28240: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
<snip>
configure:28333: result: no
configure:28337: result: ******** disabling UUIDPlugin

I'm not sure if that's good or bad?

I remember seeing Levente's UUID fixes and them blowing my mind:
"let's try do this and, if it works, we'll do _this_ otherwise we'll
do _that_". I'd never seen that done before.
