[Security-sig] Does the buildtime HAVE_GETRANDOM_SYSCALL check actually make sense?

[Victor Stinner]

The configure check ensures that constants required to build random.c are
available. We can only run this check at the compilation. I don't want to
maintain hardcoded constants.

The proper fix is to add getrandom() to the libc:

But you may have the same issue if you build the lib with "old" header
files.
