[issue29397] linux/random.h present but cannot be compiled

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de> added the comment:

It's a CentOS 5 system with Kernel 2.6.18. The getrandom() syscall was added in Linux Kernel version 3.17. Your OS simply lacks the necessary feature to use linux/random.h. Python will automatically fall back to /dev/urandom.
