Uses abort() instead of raising a SIGABRT signal [-Werror] error: ‘noreturn’ function does return [-Werror] abort() is a noreturn function while raise() is not. And because crypt_argchk() is flagged as __attribute__(noreturn), abort() appears to be a better condidate. This compilation warning has probably been introduced by commit 1809f741cba865b03d4db5c4ba8c41364a55d6bc.
