--- Comment #6 from Thomas Zander <riggs@FreeBSD.org> ---
Thanks for the extra info, appreciate it.
I read through the code of isic a bit to learn what the fuzz with the RAND_MAX
check in that include file is all about. Long story short:
My suggestion would be to simply remove the utterly useless[1] test from the
header file. I'd just remove this part of isic.h entirely:

/* We want a random function that returns 0 to 0x7fff */
#if ( RAND_MAX != 2147483647 )  /* expect signed long */
#error Random IP generation broken: unexpected RAND_MAX.
#endif

or change the test to RAND_MAX != RAND_MAX if the patch should be minimal :-)

Then you can remove the test for OSVERSION in the port Makefile as well, hence
simplify it.
Since there is already files/patch-isic.h , we can just append the removal of
these lines to it.

Let me know if you want me to commit this.
Thanks again for your quick response.


[1] rand() function is specifically not designed to produce high quality random
numbers anyway.
