[issue21356] LibreSSL/RAND_egd fix needed.
New submission from Edd Barrett: Hi, I'm sure you have heard about OpenBSD's LibreSSL fork of OpenSSL. There has been a lot of code reorganisation and removal. One function which was removed `RAND_egd()` breaks the CPython build. CPython no longer builds on OpenBSD. I have submitted a patch against PyPy already. The application library part of the change can probably be re-used since PyPy borrows CPython's application-level standard library (including the `ssl` and `socket` module). However, for the interpreter level change, the build system will probably have to be hacked. We need to check for the existence of `RAND_egd()` at configure time and only build in support if the function is found. The PyPy patch (and some discussion) is here: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/pull-request/233/fix-translation-for-libressl-and-fix-ssl/diff#comment-1744605 I may have a go at doing this myself (for Python-2.7 at least) if no-one steps up in the meantime; for now just making the CPython devs aware.

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: This should wait until the LibreSSL API stabilizes. Regardless, I think we should consider deprecating RAND_egd(). The Entropy Gathering Daemon doesn't seem to have seen a release for more than 10 years...
