This feels a bit surprising -- usually including a gnulib header module should make it POSIX compliant, but if stdlib.h is missing RAND_MAX it wouldn't be a POSIX compliant header replacer. Have I missed discussions of changing the gnulib policy here? (The reason I added struct random_data detection to stdlib.h was IIRC that I only needed the struct and not the functions, so pulling in the entire functions would be wasteful for me.) /Simon
