Title:
  Undefined reference to 'crypt' when compiling

Status in “make” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
