Thanks. I've
- changed "not defined" to "not declared" (sorry I made that mistake
in the mail to which you replied),
- added a mention of the glibc version (since it may change in future
versions),
- generalized the commit to cover also encrypt() and setkey().

Doc about crypt functions.
* doc/posix-functions/crypt.texi: Mention need for _GNU_SOURCE on glibc
systems.
* doc/posix-functions/encrypt.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/setkey.texi: Likewise.
