Build failed while attempting to link libnspr3.so under BeOS 4.5.2 running on a Pentium II
300 Mhz system.

Duncan, can you help here??
Temporary circumvention.
Changed pr/include/md/_beos.h to redefine _PR_MD_GET_RANDOM_NOISE to 0.
Request help from a BeOS wizard for actual implementation; posted to the beos
mozilla newsgroup.

This is already done and checked in.  pr/src/md/beos/brng.c was added to
the compile which added _PR_MD_GetRandomNoise

OK, then why the complaint that it broke the beos build on 23-Nov-1999?
Is it broke?
Just for sport, I'll back out my change to pr/src/md/_beos.h

I don't know why the person reporting the bug had a problem.  I will
assume they're working off an older pull, or other compilation
difficulties (they're make didn't rebuild the library due to date problems
on their machine, etc)

brng.c and the adjustment to bsrcs.mk to add it to the compile were made
by wtc right before leaving for vacation.  (11/20)

brng.c is simply a stripped down version of uxrng.c

I said:
Reasonable assumption.
I'll mark it closed.
