Paul,

Please update glibc/SHARED-FILES if random.c is being used by gnulib.

We actively use SHARED-FILES to ensure that gnulib code changes have copyright
assignment to the FSF.

This is explained to new contributors via:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist#Copyright_FSF_or_disclaimer

Please also note that it is not clear to me that all of the copyright in random.c
is assigned to the FSF given the origins of that code.
