OpenSSL /dev/random file in build of OpenSSH

Am trying to build OpenSSH 3.4p1 on Tru64 v4.0f. But, I first have to
build zlib and OpenSSL (openssl-0.9.6d). The document which outlines the
prerequisites for a portable install of OpenSSH recommends using
"/dev/random" to support OpenSSL. I don't have this file on my Tru64
system, so does this mean I have to use the "ssh-rand-helper" as
suggested in the INSTALL document? Apparently this is the inferior
alternative.
