pkgsrc with modular X.org is unfortunately quite broken after this
change. Even if libuuid is marked private as far as pkg-config is
concerned it is still linked directly into libfontconfig.so and
is expressed as a dependency in libtool libraries. If it is
not visible in in the buildlink directory many packages will fail.

/usr/pkg/lib/libfontconfig.la:dependency_libs='-lfreetype -lz -lbz2 -lexpat -luuid -lintl'

Also we can't simply patch the libtool files because modern ld(1)
requires dependency libraries to be visible in the linker path.

I propose we should make pkgsrc fontconfig have a bundled copy of the
uuid functions it it needs like xsrc (with renamed symbols and/or
hidden visibility) and drop the dependency completely.

Kind regards,
-Tobias
