reliable source of entropy.
It's entirely possible one or more of those sources actually does
supply usable entropy, but NetBSD doesn't realize that (and, as I
understand it, provides no way for the sysadmin to fix that, short of
hacking on the source).

Sure. And if you don't set the timezone, you'll be stuck in UTC. And
if you don't set up a mailer, mail won't work. If you don't set any
DNS servers, things depending on name resolution won't work. I don't
see this as fundamentally any different.
Warning, fine. Enforcing, not -

Oh, sure, it'd be helpful/useful. Lots of difficult things would be.

It's one of the reasons I dislike USB, and closely related to most of

I submit that, if that is the case, the build is already broken and you
just haven't yet tripped over a case that makes it unmistakeable.

king a volatile int variable is
more expensive than a syscall into the kernel.)
It is true, though, that that's more-than-zero cost in the loop. But
it might be close enough to zero to be acceptable.

g long int instead - there is some risk of value tearing in the
read on many architectures, but, since the kernel's increment is atomic
with respect to userland, the worst it will do is delay noticing the
signal by one trip around the loop.
