Using the configure script in gcrypt 1.2.4 I see that the solaris bits 
don't include /dev/urandom support.

"configure" line 20974

    *-solaris* | *-irix* | *-dec-osf* | *-netbsd* )
        NAME_OF_DEV_RANDOM="/dev/random"
        NAME_OF_DEV_URANDOM="/dev/random"
#       DYNLINK_MOD_CFLAGS="-shared $CFLAGS_PIC"
        ;;


Solaris includes /dev/urandom for a while now. Time to change this? 
Anywhere I can file a bug?
