[New-bugs-announce] [issue29057] Compiler failure on Mac OS X - sys/random.h

[Pam McA'Nulty]

New submission from Pam McA'Nulty:

make failed on Mac OS X including sys/random.h

It looks to be caused by this commit: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/1958527a2c5dda766b1917ab563622434b3dad0d

Restoring the removed ifdefs solves the problem (see github PR)

Official patch to follow
