> Where does libopenbsd depend on lib crypt? 

I'm not claiming that it does--that's why I included a question mark in the
title and simply described the change that allowed the build to proceed. I
didn't mean to imply that it was the right thing to do--only that there was
some kind of problem and this change at least masked it and allowed the build
to proceed/succeed.

I apologize for not including the actual build logs here. At the time, I made a
modification based on my best interpretation of the error messages and moved
on. I later followed up and reported this issue.

> libroken does, and the line that tries to set up that dependency is wrong so doesn't work, but I can't see why libopenbsd needs it. Are you sure it wasn't libroken failing?

Your explanation seems reasonable to me. If this build was using parallel make,
I can imagine that I might have seen a mix of errors from libroken and parallel
log messages from the libopenbsd build, which could have confused me about the
source of the error. My presumed-incorrect change might have simply allowed
libcrypt to be built, ultimately allowing buildworld to succeed.
