I think pkg-config (or possibly libtool, but pkg-config is generally
better in a multilib setup, because you can use the multilib wrapper
around two separate installations of it, with different default
PKG_CONFIG_PATHs) should pick this up.  Of course, if pkg-config isn't
present in clfs, that'll be hard (I haven't looked at clfs in a long
time)...  :-)

At least, in a really-old util-linux installation (from right after they
pulled in libblkid and libuuid), I have a uuid.pc and blkid.pc file in
/usr/lib{,64}/pkgconfig, and the blkid.pc files have this in them:

Requires.private: uuid

which should pull in the linker flags from uuid.pc.

(It does also require that e2fsprogs' configure script use pkg-config; I
don't know if it does or not but I'd expect it should.)
