Importing the "uuid" module on a posix system (FreeBSD in my case) that
does not have a C compiler causes "cc: not found" to be sent to stderr.
 This is because it imports ctypes and calls ctypes.util.find_library
which attempts to determine if the C compiler is called "gcc" or "cc"
using a shell command.

The patch simply sends the error message to os.devnull.  I can't test it as posix, but can it be committed as is?
