I bet it's just the crypt() function in this case. This is in unistd.h, 
indeed, see man crypt.

Anyway, the #include in question is conditional:

#if !defined(__ppc__) && !defined(__FreeBSD__)
#include <crypt.h>
#endif

This is rather weird code - why should the processor type be important 
here? - but it is a strong hint that it is not needed on MacOSX.

If it works with gcrypt.h instead of crypt.h, this is as good as a proof 
that it is not needed at all, because all the symbols in gcrypt.h have 
names starting with "g", and none of these is used in emboss.

To test it, you would have to get into a situation where emboss asks you 
for your password.
