Thanks for the report. HAVE_DECL_GETRANDOM is generated by autotools, please see ext/standard/config.m4 . Do you mean the getrandom declaration could be missing, but the syscall still available? If so, probably better to check both.
Thanks.

Description:
------------
getrandom() system call is not used on linux due to incorrect ifdef's.
HAVE_DECL_GETRANDOM is always undefined as there is no declaration of getrandom on the C library or kernel headers and the code that follows does not use it, only the raw syscall interface.
Test script:
---------------
strace -egetrandom php -r 'random_bytes(1);'
Expected result:
----------------
getrandom("\221", 1, 0) = 1
Actual result:
--------------
(nothing, getrandom unused)
