Thanks; looking through that, I see:

configure:31404: checking for struct random_data
configure:31404: cc -std=gnu99 -c -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing
-D_THREAD_SAFE -D_THREAD_SAFE conftest.c >&5
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:346: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete
type 'struct random_data'
...

| #include <stdlib.h>
|       #if HAVE_RANDOM_H
|       # include <random.h>
|       #endif
|
|
| int
| main ()
| {
| if (sizeof (struct random_data))

So, what has to be included prior to <stdlib.h> for the forward
declaration of struct random_data in that header to no longer be an
incomplete type?  Can you grep your system headers and find what all
mentions struct random_data?
