[New-bugs-announce] [issue27659] Check for the existence of crypt()

[Chi Hsuan Yen]

New submission from Chi Hsuan Yen:

On Android the crypt() function is missing, causing ugly linking errors when compiling the _crypt module. This patch handles it elegantly.

A question: should I include changes to configure and pyconfig.h.in in the patch?
