Public bug reported:

>From the announcement at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9515:
"""
The Linux-specific <sys/sysctl.h> header and the sysctl function have been
  deprecated and will be removed from a future version of glibc.
  Application should directly access /proc instead.  For obtaining random
  bits, the getentropy function can be used.
"""

This results in a build failure:
