Probably not. From my POV it's a bug in the e2fsprogs package to provide a libuuid.a lib. It should rely on the w32api provided file and if something's missing, it should be added there. However, unfortunately the e2fsprogs package is orphaned right now. If somebody would like to step up as maintainer, please see http://cygwin.com/setup.html for the details how to become a package maintainer.
