This patch fixes a case where it find crypt defined in libc (musl) but not in specified libraries then it ends up assigning LIBCRYPT="-l" which then goes into makefile cause all sort of problems e.g. ld: cannot find -l-m32 | collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status The reason is that -l appears on commandline with out any library and compiler treats the next argument as library name whatever it is.
