And --enable-uuidd controls whether uuidgen is built?

I'll generally be fine with dropping --disable-uiidd, but please
provide a good commit log, explaining the difference in build time
(since it's a host package, we don't care about the difference in
installed size). I presume the build time difference will be minimal if
not negligible.
