Normally, /usr/lib is searched BEFORE /usr/lib/w32api. The patch caused w32api to be searched before /usr/lib. libuuid.a is known to exist in both directories, with the *nix version in /usr/lib and the import library for Windows in w32api. The w32api copy is completely unrelated to the *nix version. This break cygwin apps that expect to link against *nix libuuid.
