In libc/stdlib/rand.c, the functions rand_r() and do_rand() are
redundant relative to each other. I suggest the following:

  - remove rand_r(),
  - remove the "static" attribute from do_rand(),
  - rename do_rand() -> rand_r(),
  - have rand() call rand_r() instead of do_rand().

This should save 4 bytes of flash on every program using rand() or
rand_r(). It should also save 2 bytes of stack and 7 clock cycles on
calls to rand_r(), more if _AVR_3_BYTE_PC_.

Same thing for random_r() and do_random() in libc/stdlib/random.c.
