I think, on balance and after looking at this, that stl_algo.h should just be
using rand.


  /**
   *  @if maint
   *  Return a random number in the range [0, __n).  This function encapsulates
   *  whether we're using rand (part of the standard C library) or lrand48
   *  (not standard, but a much better choice whenever it's available).
   *
   *  XXX There is no corresponding encapsulation fn to seed the generator.
   *  @endif
  */
  template<typename _Distance>
    inline _Distance
    __random_number(_Distance __n)
    {
  #ifdef _GLIBCXX_HAVE_LRAND48
      return lrand48() % __n;
  #else
      return rand() % __n;
  #endif
    }

Ie, this should just be rand, the code collapsed, and the configuration
complexity should be removed.
