Thanks to all for comments. I have submitted a patch against makekey as PR bin/28885. And regarding srand for generating salts: No need for crypto-level randomness as the salts are public knowledge anyway. Only requirement is that they are reasonably flatly distributed across the salt-space. (Is that a word??)
