Building 0.9.7a under AIX5.2 with /dev/urandom

[Anders Liljegren]

I've tried to build OpenSSL 0.9.7a under AIX 5.2 using the IBM 
compiler. I can compile, test and install without any problems, but 
when I try this simple test program

  #include <string.h>
  #include <openssl/rand.h>
  int main(void) { exit(RAND_status()); }
I get the return code 0 which means that the PRNG has not been seeded 
with random numbers. It should have been seeded by /dev/urandom that 
has been added in AIX 5.2.

Has anyone else got this to work?

If I install the 0.9.6e binary from IBM the test program works just 
fine. Unfortunately that version is not considered secure.
