It passed with coreutils because coreutils requests other crypto modules
as well, and these set LIB_CRYPTO.

The particular thing about Gnulib is that people can use an *arbitrary
subset* of its set of modules. Therefore, when we add a module we must
make sure that
  1. the module works standalone, without any other modules,
  2. conflicts with other modules are avoided.
'gnulib-tool --create-testdir' is the tool for verifying this.
