[issue27398] configure warning for Python 3.5.2 during compilation

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Presumably this also affects Python 3.6, as that includes the same headers during configure for the same reasons: to check if the getrandom() syscall is likely to be available.

#27990 is somewhat related, in that Linux makes this a bit difficult to do correctly on older systems - we may need an explicit "--with-getrandom" and corresponding "--without-getrandom" to make it easy for folks to override the system inspection logic in the configure script.
