Hi Helmut, Marco,

during a discussion on IRC today another option has been presented.
Upstream mentioned [0] some time ago that it is possible to link with
libxcrypt without using musl's crypt functions:

> You can just not install the musl crypt.h.
> Linking libxcrypt should automatically cause
> it to get used instead of the functions in libc.

I like this option as it would allow programs using musl to also use
newer crypt methods from libxcrypt.

In order to prevent accidental usage of musl's crypt functions (e.g.
by forgetting to pass -lcrypt), I will disable/remove the functions
in libc.so.
And additionaly musl's crypt.h will not be shipped.

Kind regards,
  Reiner
