Checking for getrandom() function returns no when building Python 3.5.1 on Ubuntu 14.04
<p>I'm trying to build Python 3.5.1 on a GCE Ubuntu 14.04 VM and when running ./configure inside the unzipped folder I get:</p>

<pre><code>checking for the Linux getrandom() syscall... no
checking for the getrandom() function... no
</code></pre>

<p>The <code>uname -a</code> command returns:</p>

<p><code>Linux server.mydomain.com 3.19.0-58-generic #64~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 19:05:43 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux</code></p>

<p>I don't why configure cannot detect getrandom(), on the Python 3.5.1 release documentation it says Python interpreter <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.5.html#os" rel="nofollow">will detect and use this function/system call in Linux Kernels above 3.17</a></p>

<p>What am I missing here? Anyone had the same issue?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any answers.</p>
