+Subject: [PATCH] libuuid: fix uuid_time on macOS without attribute((alias))
+
+Weak aliases are not supported by clang on Darwin.
+Instead this fix uses inline asm to make `_uuid_time` an alias to
+`___uuid_time`
+
+It appears that on macOS the time API is purely 32 or 64 bit depending
+on the build type. There is no ABI issue on that platform and `uuid_time`
+can be unconditionally aliased to `_uuid_time`. This is all conjectural,
+however, since I have no ability to make 32-bit builds for macOS - the
+Apple toolchain doesn't support this since 2019.
+
+Fixes util-linux/util-linux#2873
