I notice warnings that I think are caused by this patch on some buildfarm
members, eg

(bowerbird and hamerkop are showing the same).

My first thought about it was that this bit is busted:

+#ifndef USE_OPENSSL
+   RAND_poll();
+#endif

The obvious problem with this is that if !USE_OPENSSL, we will not have
pulled in openssl's headers.

However ... all these machines are pointing at line 96, which is not
that one but the one under "#if defined(USE_OPENSSL)".  So I'm not sure
what to make of that, except that a bit more finesse seems required.
