No, don't! If you need pseudo-random numbers, by all means use gsl. It comes with a nice selection of good rngs and bad rngs (like the glibc one) in a unified interface, and you can rely on it across platforms. If, on the other hand, you don't need random numbers (and polyhedral computations certainly do not) then please, please, don't use a rng.
