An option is to use the host UUID instead of libuuid (as used by the _uuid extension). This has two problems though: (1) the RFC prescribes that the node id is a IEEE 802 MAC address, and (2) the host UUID is a full UUID and would have to be post processed.   Because of this I don't think this is a usable alternative.

The relevant API is gethostuuid().
