The Linux test for detecting -lcrypt is too aggressive. I have all compiler options set to values which worked for building against libc5 on a libc6 system (it worked in 1.2.6), except that -lcrypt gets detected (it's there) even when I try to make a libc5 binary. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to build apache on a Linux system with both libc5 and libc6 installed and attempt to build against libc5. >Fix: Libc6 is not ready for prime time, I'd suggest forcing the installer to put -lcrypt in one of the Configuration flags. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
