Error using libcrypt.so on AT15.0 in Ubuntu-focal
fabiane-watanabe opened this issue · 2 comments
In the latest release of Ubuntu e Fedora, libcrypt.so is provided by "libxcrypt" project, instead of Glibc.
How to reproduce:
Ubuntu : 20.04
AT :15.0
More details: distros have been configuring glibc with --disable-crypt, e.g. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/596537387/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-ppc64el.glibc_2.31-0ubuntu9.9_BUILDING.txt.gz
I suspect this could cause issues to programs built with AT 15.0. Need to confirm if libxcrypt is ABI-compatible with glibc 2.34, before changing AT 15.0.
AT next should definitely be modified though.

According to libxcrypt's documentation:
On Linux-based systems, by default libxcrypt will be binary backward compatible with the libcrypt.so.1 shipped as part of the GNU C Library. This means that all existing binary executables linked against glibc’s libcrypt should work unmodified with this library’s libcrypt.so.1.
While this does not answer the previous question, it does look promising.
