At the end of building both Encompass and Balsa, I get this series of security warnings:
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: WARNING!  setkey(3) not present in the system!
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: this program uses gets(), which is unsafe.
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: mktemp() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: WARNING!  des_setkey(3) not present in the system!
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: WARNING!  encrypt(3) not present in the system!
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: tmpnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()

/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: tempnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
