If your source is not open that's barely a speedbump, given a binary. At least that's my impression of the current state.

This flaw would probably be easier to find from the binary: the source itself was misleading, but if you analyized the binary you'd find that there was no access to the hwrng at all (assuming the dead code got eliminated by the compiler) or that the only function that accessed it was never called.
One lesson out of this is that now that AI has made a certain grade of review cheap is that it would be useful to perform security review both against the source code and against the resulting binary.
