It's a little unclear to me, if lrand48_r() exists in FreeBSD or not.
Could someone confirm?
Another question I have is in which section of the version.map file the
new symbols should go. Experimental, or 19.05?
The source interface is backward compatible, but the functions are no
longer inline functions in the header file, and thus needs to go
somewhere to be properly exported.
