HAVE_GETRANDOM_SYSCALL seems to be a compile-time library check, not a runtime check. I compiled and run on Linux 3.15.5, and os.getrandom() exists but raises ENOSYS:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_getrandom0 (test.test_os.GetRandomTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/media/disk/home/proj/python/cpython/Lib/test/test_os.py", line 1280, in test_getrandom0
    empty = os.getrandom(0)
OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented
