[stunnel-users] prng_init failure

Thu Oct 15 06:40:06 CEST 2015

prng_init() is failing in 5.24 when cross-compiling with openssl due to
a combination of two reasons:
1. The --with-random configure option is not supported when cross
compiling.
2. The hardcoded /dev/urandom is no longer used if OPENSSL_NO_EGD is not
defined.

The following patch reverts the behaviour to how it was in 5.23, but
probably the --with-random configure option should be supported too.
