Still, these function can still have a backdoor since some implementations (like freeBSD < 10) used them as the main secured random generation algorithm.. which are used to create encryption keys.
That's why lot's of crypto experts (like Bruce Shneier) said that we can't rely on that.
However, if you choose ARM because you don't trust Intel, that's absolutly not the solution. If you need an usb controller (i guess you need a mouse and a keyboard), it will probably be an intel one. If the NSA can have backdoor inside Intel/AMD chips, why can't they have one inside USB or Ethernet (that's not hard for this one, Realtek have 99.9% market share).. If you really need to completly hide from the NSA you have 2 solutions:
> Forget the word "Computer"
> Became billionaire, and rely on your own chips.
Finilly thinking that the NSA or some powerfull governments are the only ones who create thoses backdoors and spies on almost everybody.. That's a huge mistake.
