Hi Baptiste,

thanks for the cleanup. It would be nice if you could send a HEADS UP to current@
before such changes. This change rendered my login shell on arm64 useless and it
took me about 8 hours on a saturday to get the shell working againg, by using a
FreeBSD livesystem, booted on my MacBook, while hurderling with pwd_mkdb(8).
