The long and the short of it is that the OSSP guys need to fix their
code.  I'm not excited about kluges like
> +#define _XOPEN_SOURCE

which might band-aid around their mistake, but at what price?  We have
no idea what side-effects that will have.  It would not be unlikely
for that to result in an ossp-uuid.so that is subtly incompatible with
the core backend.  (We've seen such effects in the past, though I'm too
lazy to trawl the archives for examples right now.)
