If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending electronic mail to <bug-glibc@gnu.org>. -The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which -provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. -Because of the United States export restriction on DES -implementations, we are distributing this code separately from the -rest of the C library. There is an extra distribution tar file just -for crypt; it is called `glibc-crypt-2.1.91.tar.gz'. You can just -unpack the crypt distribution along with the rest of the C library and -build; you can also build the library without getting crypt. Users -outside the USA can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from -ftp.gwdg.de [134.76.11.100] in the directory pub/linux/glibc, or -another archive site outside the USA. Archive maintainers are -encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives outside the -USA. Please get it from ftp.gwdg.de; transferring this distribution -from ftp.gnu.org (or any other site in the USA) to a site outside the -USA is in violation of US export laws. - -Beside the separate crypt tar file there are some more add-ons which can be -used together with GNU libc. They are designed in a way to ease the -installation by integrating them in the libc source tree. Simply get the -add-ons you need and use the --enable-add-ons option of the `configure' -script to tell where the add-ons are found.
