Just to summarize the pros and cons. Right now, cdd uses the system libc rng, which is not the same on all platforms and leads to doctest errors. We have two options:
1) Add a "stupid" rng to cdd. Quality of the random numbers is not important. Introduces a few lines of code duplicated from the GNU C library. 2) Make cdd depend on gsl. Enhance the automake scripts for cdd to allow "--with-gsl". Push the extra dependency upstream (cdd has not had a new release since 2006, and many other projects use the cdd library as well). I have currently implemented 1).
