Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

At least FreeBSD and NetBSD also implement getrandom using the same semantics as Linux >= 3.17. The only thing preventing its use is linux specific headers being used in configure to test for its existence.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
