-----------------------------------------------------------------
The RFC 4122 (which describes UUID) advices to use cryptographic level random
data instead of MAC address.

> Key: AXIS2C-1439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1439
> Project: Axis2-C
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: platforms/unix
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.7.0, Current (Nightly)
> Environment: AIX 5.3
> Reporter: Olivier Mengué
>
> axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() return NULL on AIX 5.3.
> The axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() implementation is the default one (neither
> HAVE_LINUX_IF_H or HAVE_GETIFADDRS defined).
> Note that the case of axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() returning NULL is not
> handled in axutil_uuid_gen_v1(), so invalid memory access occurs.
