You broke the build with static linking.

Now the build says -lcrypt at the begining of the link line instead of
the end like all the other libraries, and with --static that links in
lcrypt.a instead of libcrypt.so which is position dependent, and since
the first reference to crypt() is in one of the .o files after that the
build dies with:

svr-authpasswd.o: In function `svr_auth_password':
svr-authpasswd.c:(.text+0x90): undefined reference to `crypt'

Because libcrypt.a went by without crypt() being copied out of it.
