-----------------------------------------------------------------

The RFC 4122 (which describes UUID) advices to use cryptographic level random data \
instead of MAC address. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122#page-15

The Apache Portable Runtime has such an implementation under Apache License 2.0

> Key: AXIS2C-1439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1439
> Project: Axis2-C
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: platforms/unix
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.7.0, Current (Nightly)
> Environment: AIX 5.3
> Reporter: Olivier Mengué
> 
> 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.
