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.
