Description

Old linux versions do not have the `getrandom` system call. On these versions, `randombytes.c` falls back to using `/dev/{u,}random` for randomness. We should see whether GitHub actions has support for old versions of linux (probably not); or alternatively, hack the tests in such a way that the tests use the compatibility mode nonetheless.
