GNU ld has prefixed the contents of .gnu.warning.SYMBOL sections
with "warning: " since 2003, so the messages themselves need not
contain the prefix anymore.

Prefer _MUTEX_*LOCK over _THREAD_PRIVATE_MUTEX_*LOCK() when thread-specific
data isn't necessary.

warn for correct symbol

improve warnings from rand_r(), rand(), and random()
It may take a few iterations to get the tone right.

Change rand(), random(), drand48(), lrand48(), mrand48(), and srand48()
to returning strong random by default, source from arc4random(3).
Parameters to the seeding functions are ignored, and the subsystems remain
in strong random mode. If you wish the standardized deterministic mode,
call srand_deterministic(), srandom_determistic(), srand48_deterministic(),
seed48_deterministic() or lcong48_deterministic() instead.
The re-entrant functions rand_r(), erand48(), nrand48(), jrand48() are
unaffected by this change and remain in deterministic mode (for now).

Verified as a good roadmap forward by auditing 8800 pieces of software.
Roughly 60 pieces of software will need adaptation to request the
deterministic mode.

Violates POSIX and C89, which violate best practice in this century.

once srandomdev() is called, switch to using arc4random() but mask off the
high bit as required by posix. wouldn't want to break any standards.

oops, typo. James Hartley is fast at trying -current

In srandomdev(), use arc4random_buf() instead of from the kernel.

Add linker warnings for rand() and random() and various related functions.

Improve standards conformance: ecvt(), fcvt(), gcvt(), mktemp(), ttyslot(),
and valloc() are not in the current version, while posix_memalign() mkstemp(),

Fix a bug where random() always returns 0 when srandom() is seeded
with 0. Use 1 and not 0 as the first element of the state array,
similar to what glibc does. OK nicm@

Use sysctl(KERN_ARND) to get n bytes, instead of just 4 at a time

Use int32_t, not long since this deals with 32bit quantities.

Fix the leak for real (that's what I get for hacking when i can't sleep).

Fix an fd leak if the read from /dev/arandom fails. Pointed out by
Markus Friedl.

Add srandomdev() from FreeBSD for use by sendmail and others.
