[uClibc]libcrypt, libdl

[michaels at jungo.com]

Oliver,

Adding libcrypt is somewhat risky, since there is a US encryption export
laws that enforce the usage of low grade encoding outside of US. So, you
will be better off grabbing the ones that came with glibc. I have
already done porting of the encrypt() and setkey() to uLibc. However,
since it is an OpenSource project, and I am not in a "director board" of
it, it is still pending to be comitted.

As for libdl, it will be added together with ld-linux.so.1, as soon as I
will find a way to compile it with a newer gcc (version >= 2.95). They
both come from libc5 world.

Also, take a look at pur mailing list's logs of last month, there was
already some mention about pppd successfully compiled by Jean-Yves from
HP.
