Thank you for your fast answer and the information.
Isn't it kind of unusual that the prototypes of these functions 
are not declared in any constant header file? 

All C library functions I have used until now can be declared
using a provided header file.  I find it reassuring, 
because errors in copying the prototypes locally
can be avoided by using such header files.  
This makes me hesitate somewhat to use random() and srandom(),
although those RNG are said to provide "better" (in which sense
exactly?) random numbers than rand() and srand().
