Hi,
The perl 5.6.1 binaries for QNX 6.2 do not have the crypt() function enabled.
I downloaded source for 5.8.1 and ran the Configure script. It did not find
the crypt() function. The script looks for functions in libc.so, but the
crypt() function on QNX 6.2.1 is in libc.a. I made brute force test by using
the following change in the Configure script. That is, I turned on the test
which compiles a try.c program. This created a perl with the crypt()
function.

Any chance this change can be moved to hints/qnx.sh ?? (and still do what you
want)

Wouldn't telling configure not to use nm do the trick without any
modification to Configure?

I re-compiled with the command​: sh Configure -de -D mistrustnm=compile
This had the same effect as my hack to the Configure script. The crypt()
function was found. "make test" reported​:

Failed 1 test script out of 760, 99.87% okay.
### Since not all tests were successful, you may want to run some of
### them individually and examine any diagnostic messages they produce.
### See the INSTALL document's section on "make test".
### You have a good chance to get more information by running
### ./perl harness

Ran ./perl harness, which reported​:

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed

op/groups.t 2 1 50.00% 1
(24 subtests UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED), 56 tests and 487 subtests skipped.
Failed 1/820 test scripts, 99.88% okay. 1/76967 subtests failed, 100.00% okay.

End result looks OK. I am not quite sure about the "50.00%" bit.
I guess the "-D mistrustnm=compile" could go into hints/qnx.sh. Or, one might
try adding libc.a in the list of libraries that nm searches.

The attached patch overrides the check for crypt, so that it's used even
though it's not detected.
