On the MIPS platform, the GETRNDENTCNT ioctl on /dev/urandom gives back an ENOSYS error, even if linux/random.h is correctly included. I am not sure if this is even documented by the relevant man pages.
In any case, when this happens we will fall back to the strategy where we read from /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail.
