Manual page of the OpenBSD getentropy() function:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man2/getentropy.2

LibreSSL didn't wait for the libc, search for getentropy_getrandom():
http://openbsd.cs.toronto.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libcrypto/crypto/getentropy_linux.c?rev=1.32&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

The code is currently disabled with "#if 0". The syscall is directly used, the function doesn't handle the ENOSYS error.
