Caldera 2.2, which otherwise uses glibc2.1, doesn't include libcrypt by
default. Caldera's legal advice indicates that libcrypt cannot be legally
exported from the US.
Apparently the other distributions are just hoping that nobody will
notice.
Caldera's support website indicates where to get libcrypt from outside the
US, but it's not shipped on the CD by default.
