It is surprising for autoconf not to find that you need "-lcrypt" to get
crypt(3).
Try
env LIBS="-lcrypt" ./configure
and see the result.
Remember that by default you get the MD5-based crypt(3) function and that
you must get the "des" distribution f you want to have the more standard
DES-based crypt(3).
