-It is my understanding that other operating systems are either not commonly imaged (e.g. BSDs) or have official tools for system image preparation (e.g. sysprep for Windows). Therefore, random-seed is Linux specific. However, it should be reasonably easy to port by simply adjusting the paths and changing getrandom to /dev/random.

-random-seed requires GNU make to compile.
+random-seed requires the following to compile:
-random-seed requires Linux 3.11 or higher supporting the getrandom(2) system call.
+- a gcc-compatible compiler (clang is fine)
+- GNU make (BSD make is not fine)
+- Bourne-like sh (autoconf compatible, i.e. probably all of them)
+
+If compiling from git, autoconf is also required. random-seed does not use
+automake, gettext, or libtool.
