It seems your "uuid" is from ossp.org. It isn't the same library at all, so
it's not surprising if it isn't compatible! In Debian, this one is packaged as
ossp-uuid, with the SONAME and the name in pkg-config changed.

Because Debian repackages it to coexist with e2fsprogs' uuid, I hadn't realised
that both upstreams provide uuid.pc, with incompatible APIs. I'm opening bugs
asking them to provide <ossp-uuid.h> and <e2fs-uuid.h> or something, in
addition to the colliding names, with corresponding pkg-config files.

The one from e2fsprogs is indeed the one we intended Gabble to use.

Perhaps you could get the OSSP uuid port in OpenBSD changed to use
/usr/include/ossp/uuid.h and put -I/usr/include/ossp in its pkg-config flag?
Then it'd be possible to select either version to provide <uuid.h>, by setting
-I/usr/include/ossp or -I/usr/include/uuid, without accidentally getting the
"chosen" /usr/include/uuid.h turning up when unwanted.
