Description

axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() return NULL on AIX 5.3.
The axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() implementation is the default one (neither HAVE_LINUX_IF_H or HAVE_GETIFADDRS defined).

Note that the case of axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() returning NULL is not handled in axutil_uuid_gen_v1(), so invalid memory access occurs.
