note that the issue is libcrypt, not libcrypto, which is about
password validation in APR and not SSL.

The symbols removed in libcrypt 2.x seem to be super obscure things.
It's a shame libcrypr.so.1 wasn't left with a semver break.

I opened a redhat ticket on this about the removal in RHEL 10 and got nowhere.
In my own object-code-only (1 per arch, not distro) products I hack
around this in APR builds by avoiding linking with it and poking
around with dlopen.

You might want to push RedHat for some toleration here.
