I think you are on to something there.

Building util-linux-ng 2.15 using --with-fsprobe=builtin, without having 
previously built e2fsprogs, gives me:

/bin/bash ../../../libtool --tagÌ   --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99 
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../..  -include ../../../config.h 
-I../../../include -DLOCALEDIR=\"/tools_i486/share/locale\" 
-I../../../libs/blkid/src  -fsigned-char -g -O2 -MT resolve.lo -MD -MP 
-MF .deps/resolve.Tpo -c -o resolve.lo resolve.c
libtool: compile:  gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../.. 
-include ../../../config.h -I../../../include 
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/tools_i486/share/locale\" -I../../../libs/blkid/src 
-fsigned-char -g -O2 -MT read.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/read.Tpo -c read.c  
-fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/read.o
read.c:28:23: error: uuid/uuid.h: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [read.lo] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....


IIRC uuid.h is provided by e2fsprogs, which is now supposed to be build 
after util-linux-ng

Any ideas?
