The patch fixes a build issue on w32 / w64, but the reason given
is misleading: yes, Windows has no /dev files, but the MinGW
library tries to emulate the most important interfaces from /dev.
There is a /dev/random with MinGW, and it does what it is supposed
to do. See this URL for more supported "devices":
