Compiling libuuid was failing with the following error:

```c
libuuid/src/gen_uuid.c: In function 'uuid_generate_time_generic':
libuuid/src/gen_uuid.c:536:33: error: initializer element is not constant
  THREAD_LOCAL int  cache_size = cs_min;
```

The error was previously detected, and a fix was provided in
52abdf6a , where the GCC minimum version
was increased to 8 (GCC version 8 supports using const-declared
variables as constant expressions in some cases).

Unfortunately, the solution did not work as the `min_version` field of
the `[gcc]` section was being overwritten by its value in
`component/defaults.cfg`.
This is because `util-linux` (where libuuid config is located) is a
transient dependence of `defaults.cfg` through `python3`.

Fortunately, the error is already [patched upstream](https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/07e5c29d501c19e7af84fecb5915e0f9f94cb49f)
in version 2.40.1, so we can just upgrade the library to the latest
version instead, which we do here.
