[yocto] nativesdk-libxcrypt-4.0.1 is failing

[Dimitris Tassopoulos]

Hi all,

it seems that the libxcrypt recipe in poky is failing because the git repo
doesn't have a master branch anymore. The default branch has changed
to `develop` and the recipe can't fetch the repo when I'm building the SDK
for my image.

A temporary solution is to override the URL with a bbappend, but in general
this has broken the recipe. This is the error that I'm getting.

P.S another good reason to enable the own mirrors early in the development
phase.
