The new generator tries to run a bunch of programs like netstat,
vmstat, ps, etc, to seed a generator. (Of course, it also reads
/dev/urandom, if available). So it depends on how many of those
programs are available.
And all this is runtime-issues, any compilation troubles are
orthogonal to the randomness generator.
