Patch proposal:

commit dc12772137ad6fd65f8628e4f8b0625163e46e28
Author: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
Date:   Fri Mar 18 18:01:07 2016 +0100

    Allow machine-dependent arc4 locking
    
    newlib:
    	* libc/stdlib/arc4random.h: Remove Cygwin-specific locking code.
    	Conditionalize arc4 locking.  Check for _ARC4_LOCK_INIT being
    	undefined to fall back to default implementation.
    
    cygwin:
    	* include/machine/_arc4random.h: New file.
