I just tried building and testing 2.5 on a Solaris 10 box at work.  The uuid
test failed with

    sh: ifconfig: not found
    sh: ifconfig: not found
    sh: ifconfig: not found
    sh: arp: not found
    sh: ifconfig: not found
    sh: ifconfig: not found
    sh: ifconfig: not found
    sh: arp: not found

In our environment at least it's uncommon for /usr/sbin to be in the PATH of
non-privileged users:

    piggy:% type -a ifconfig
    -bash: type: ifconfig: not found
    piggy:% PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin type -a ifconfig
    ifconfig is /usr/sbin/ifconfig

Perhaps test_uuid needs to do a little investigation to find ifconfig and
arp.
