Not so doomed. As already discussed in this thread we can ether:

a) Add *fork() hook to clear arc4random's flag which inidicates it is 
stired (to re-stir it on the next call). This slightly increases diffs 
with OpenBSD arc4random code.

b) Speed up getpid() itself by caching its value (adding *fork() and 
getpid() hooks). This produces no diffs with OpenBSD arc4random code. That 
way give more benefits for other program that calls getpid() often to 
check they are in the child, but I don't have examples.
