Can you please show us the place where you use 'struct random_data' but
not the functions? When we discussed this [1], I assumed the only reason
to want the struct is that you also want some of the functions. I may
have been wrong; please prove it.

No big change happened. Just that when considering whether to support a
glibc feature in a module without suffix '-gnu', we are ready to make
compromises that we wouldn't make for POSIX features.
