--- Comment #2 from Brent Cook <busterb at gmail.com> ---
We could perhaps conditionally provide a prototype, but it would be in
a nonstandard location. It would be better if programs did not have to
guess whether arc4random_buf is in stdlib.h or some random libressl
header, no? In other words, even if we did expose the prototype, I
believe openssh would still have to do a header check to see if it is
stdlib.h or elsewhere.

The symbol export is intentional, as the arc4random_buf in libcrypto
then shared between libssl, openssl(1) and libtls.
