You can compile manually by copy/pasting the link line (yes, the one that 
starts with libtool and has -o myprogram) and adding -lcrypt to its end.

The Right Solution (TM) would be to write a test case in the configure script 
that detects that crypt(3) is in libcrypt and automatically add -lcrypt to 
the automatic library variable or to something like $(LIBCRYPT). That way, 
you can use myprogram_LDADD = $(LIBCRYPT) to make sure you link against the 
proper libraries.

As long as your make / Automake level is pretty high, it won't matter ;-)
