(In reply to comment #1)

it would be better to fix Makefile.in itself and then send the fix upstream

(In reply to comment #2)

make has implicit rules to handle "-lfoo" in its dependency list.  so dropbear
does this:

dropbearobjs=$(COMMONOBJS) $(CLISVROBJS) $(SVROBJS) @CRYPTLIB@
...
dropbear: $(dropbearobjs)

this expands into:
dropbear: ... -lcrypt

and make executes its implicit code to try and find /usr/lib/libcrypt.a.  if
you don't have that, it'll fail.
