Current version seems to be 7.16.4

Looks fine to me.

When cross-compiling though the configure script fails:
checking for "/dev/urandom"... configure: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling

I can fix this by passing --without-random, however there are plenty of
other opportunities for things to go wrong, as the Configure script
seems to do a lot of host-side inspection of headers/libraries.
How are other folks handling this situation?
