Why didn't it link with /usr/lib/libcrypt.so? That has always worked on Solaris, including Solaris 2.6. In addition, even if it did decide to use libcrypt.a for some strange reason, it should still link successfully, since libcrypt.a should define _des_encrypt. Please do "ar tv /usr/lib/libcrypt.a", and report the object files contained in the library.
