--- Comment #4 from Alex Richardson <arichardson@FreeBSD.org> ---
Just for context: I noticed this because I was trying to build GLib from source
and it looks for machine-id in the following two locations:

  const gchar *var_lib_path = LOCALSTATEDIR "/lib/dbus/machine-id";
  const gchar *etc_path = "/etc/machine-id";

And when installing to a local prefix, that means the machine-id is not found
since lOCALSTATEDIR will be <prefix>/var
