Could those of you with random number generator testers compare these
generators?  The first is from DJGPP, and the other two are from
newlib.

#define RAND_MAX 0x7fffffff

unsigned 
rand1()
{
  static unsigned long long next = 1;
  next = next * 6364136223846793005LL + 1;
  return (int)((next >> 21) & RAND_MAX);
}

unsigned
rand2()
{
  long k;
  static long s = 1;
  if (s == 0)
    s = 0x12345987;
  k = s / 127773;
  s = 16807 * (s - k * 127773) - 2836 * k;
  if (s < 0)
    s += 2147483647;
  return (int)(s & RAND_MAX);
}

unsigned
rand3()
{
  static unsigned int next = 1;
  return ((next = next * 1103515245 + 12345 ) & RAND_MAX );
}

main()
{
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<20; i++)
    printf("%15d %15d %15d\n", rand1(), rand2(), rand3());
}
