    * CARES_RANDOM_FILE should always default to /dev/urandom
    
    During cross-compilation, CARES_RANDOM_FILE may not be able to be appropriately
    detected, therefore we should always set it to /dev/urandom and allow the
    entity requesting compilation override the value.  The code does appropriately
    fall back if CARES_RANDOM_FILE cannot be opened.
    
    * use set not option
