What's the error you're getting with -Wmissing-include-dirs? We should
be testing to see if gcc supports that and not using it if its not
supported. Additionally, what version of gcc are you using in 8.x? We
can probably whip up a quick patch to resolve this.

As far as the struct random_data, I'll let Eric work on that since
he's got a better understand and more context.
