XLC errors with encryption routines

Question:

        I have a RS/6000 340 running AIX 3.2.5. I am utilizing XL C
version 2.3.  I am receiving errors when I run a program that was
produced under a lower version of AIX and XL C. These errors are as
follows:
        Unresolved symbols-
                __setkey
                __crypt
                __encrypt

Response:

        These encryption routines are no longer included in the
libc.a. They were removed with PTF U408884. The routines now reside in
libdes.a. If you do not have the DES lpp you will need to obtain it.
The PTF for libdes.a is U422471. 
        If utilizing static linking and receive unresolved symbols for those 
symbols or any other with __, then should create a file named whatever you like. 
The file should contain this first line \#! and the unresolved symbol names:
        \#!
        __setkey
        __crypt
        __encrypt
        Is the file for the above problem. Save this file and use when linking or 
compiling          
                -bI:"filename"
         This should resolve the problem.
