[syslinux] Build failure for isohybrid

[Tim Fletcher]

Dear list,

I have been trying to debug a build failure for a while in the utils 
directory on isohybrid which seems to be distro specific.

On Fedora 17 64bit the build completes without problems, but under both 
Ubuntu 32/64bit 11.10 and 12.04 I get the following:

tim at oxygen:/usr/src/git/syslinux/utils$ make
gcc -O2 -luuid -o isohybrid isohybrid.o isohdpfx.o
isohybrid.o: In function `initialise_gpt':
isohybrid.c:(.text+0xc42): undefined reference to `uuid_generate'
isohybrid.c:(.text+0xd20): undefined reference to `uuid_generate'
isohybrid.c:(.text+0xd2d): undefined reference to `uuid_generate'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [isohybrid] Error 1

I've done the normal googling and checking that I have the devel 
packages installed and as much debugging as I can think of.

I've tested this on 32bit Ubuntu too but I can't get access to the 
machine I tested in to remotely atm.

These are the reports from my Ubuntu 64bit 12.04 machine:

tim at oxygen:/usr/src/git/syslinux/utils$ nm -D

on Fedora 17 64bit I get
