--- Comment #7 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
If the user controls how the random file is opened (non-blocking or blocking)
then the behavior (whether to re-try on EINTR or short reads) should be
controlled by that choice. Starting to throw on users that don't expect that
would be bad.
