Actually, the change breaks static linking for most programs that use
one of the functions described in login_cap(3). This is because it
adds login_setcrypt() to the existing spam in login_cap.c. This
breaks limits, cron, crontab, inetd and sendmail in /usr/src alone.
For dynamic linking, it only wastes time and space for the rarely
actually used library.
