This is probably a missing -lcrypt somewhere in some makefile. Perhaps a
problem using the "export" version of NetBSD, but don't know.

No new information here. The guy who wrote the time code is Thomas
Lockhart <lockhart(at)alumni(dot)caltech(dot)edu>.

I think these questions would be better posted to one of the Postgres
mailing lists, probably ports since these are NetBSD/m68k specific.
