+Subject: [PATCH] compat/posix.h: fix build on older glibc (missing sys/random.h)
+
+The build of the 'git' package fails on older Linux toolchains (like
+bootlin-aarch64-glibc-old which uses glibc 2.24) with the following
+error:
+
+compat/posix.h:159:24: fatal error: sys/random.h: No such file or directory
+                        
+This happens because Git recently made 'getrandom' the default
+CSPRNG_METHOD on Linux, which unconditionally includes <sys/random.h>.
+However, this header was only introduced in glibc 2.25.
+
+Fix this by using __has_include to check for the header's existence.
+If it's missing, undefine HAVE_GETRANDOM so Git falls back to its
+/dev/urandom implementation.
+
+Upstream: N/A (Buildroot specific fallback)
