I'm experimenting a little with statically linking a minimal build of
libguile. So while no one really would want to build it it with
--without-posix (except when you want the same functionality on all
platforms including windows in your program), and this is a low priority
bug and I can easily fix it myself for my purposes, it is still a bug.
What happens is, in random.c in random_state_of_last_resort on line 668
scm_getpid is used to seed the random generator. So either a
preprocessor switch or a hand constructed scm like in scm_getpid
(scm_from_ulong(getpid())) should be used there.
