In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121942 (also see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/122356), libstd moved to just unconditionally calling libc::getrandom on Dragonfly BSD. This breaks Dragonfly BSD releases before 5.7, but this was judged to be acceptable (based on what targets Rust wants to support).

@newpavlov would it make sense for us to do the same thing?

Yes, I think we can follow std here as per our platform support policy.
