I know about -lsocket and -lnsl.  The other problems are
in rndunix.c which is quite different from the other source files and
will be replaced by a client for the Entropy Gatherer Daemon (EGD)

The EGD will help.

Hmmm it works right even on the alpha but I check it again there.

It gets called by a fucntion pointer from md.c

I did some fixes for these environment (include/types.h if I remember
correct) but there might be a problem with make.  I have not yet figured
out what's the reason as automake should generate standard makefiles.
Maybe this gets fix with automake 1.4 which I installed yesterday.
