I'm not sure if I should mention this for fear that it will be "fixed".
However if the export rules are being relaxed presumably it won't have to be.

Although the crypt() library function was removed from libc.a, SCO forgot
to remove it from the shared version libc_s.a.  So you can link a program
(such as our un-C2ed su) that uses crypt() by giving -lc_s on the command
line.
