I actually had the same (or at least similar, erroring with cannot find -luuid) issue before on a Debian LXC container, but some searching pointed me towards a crosscompilation issue (it’s an amd64 host), so I redid it on the PI, but that seems to not have helped.

Can you check if uuid-dev is correctly installed on your system?

dpkg -s uuid-dev

It was not, I installed it with apt install uuid-dev and everything worked, thanks :)

I guess it needs to be added to the dependency list for some systems?
