FTR, we have to differ here between plain newlib targets and Cygwin. While Cygwin comes with it's own, table-based random() implementation taken from BSD back in 2007, newlib's random is basically equivalent to rand() for the sake of bare-metal and other targets with high memory pressure. We shouldn't change the latter since multi-threading compliance is usually not much of a problem for that target audience.
