You've managed to misread the documentation (INSTALL) and the comment in
the Makefile.  glibc is an essential system component, your system would
not even boot up without it - so it is not a question whether you have
glibc installed.

INSTALL says:

"Possibly edit the Makefile (uncomment "-lcrypt" for Linux with glibc, ..."

It means that you should do just that - uncomment a line in the Makefile.
This is referring to:

# Linux with glibc, FreeBSD, NetBSD
#LIBS += -lcrypt

So you need to edit it to be:

# Linux with glibc, FreeBSD, NetBSD
LIBS += -lcrypt
