Guile's configure script checks for the crypt library with
AC_CHECK_LIB(crypt, crypt).  On HP-UX 11, crypt() is included in the C
library.  libcrypt.a is an empty dummy library provided for
compatibility with old software.  The check for crypt() succeeds since
the test program is linked against the empty crypt library as well as
the C library.  As a consequence -lcrypt is added to the list of
required libraries.  The problem is that libtool does not create a
shared libguile since there is only a static crypt library.

I think that configure should first check whether the C library
provides crypt() before it checks for the crypt library.

Here's a patch that replaces AC_CHECK_LIB with AC_SEARCH_LIBS and
HAVE_LIBCRYPT with HAVE_CRYPT.  I've tested this patch under HP-UX and
GNU/Linux.
