I think it would be nicer to check for -1 explicitly, rather than implicitly by including all negatives in the test. The documentation states that read will return -1, 0, or a positive number, and it is nice to be precise.

You can simplify the logic here a bit and avoid testing currentRead twice like so:

if (currentRead == -1) {
    if (!(errno == EAGAIN || errno == EINTR))
        crashUnableToReadFromURandom();
} else
    amountRead += currentRead;

This helps to clearly separate the failure case from the success case.
