[Bug 1023973] [NEW] Undefined reference to 'crypt' when compiling

[Kasper Dupont]

Public bug reported:

When trying to compile a program on Ubuntu 12.04, which uses crypt() and
linking with -lcrypt as specified in the CRYPT(3) man page, compilation
fails with: Undefined reference to `crypt'

The program works flawless on many earlier Linux versions including
multiple Fedora versions and Ubuntu 10.04.

Reporting this against libc6 because that's the package libcrypt belongs
to in Ubuntu 10.04.
