 |Which version of libgcrypt is that and what build options were used?

Oh, sorry.  That is on CRUX-Linux 3.5

  #?0|kent:$ prt-get info libgcrypt
  Name:         libgcrypt
  Path:         /usr/ports/opt
  Version:      1.8.5
  Release:      1
  Description:  A general purpose cryptographic library based on GnuPG
  URL:          http://www.gnupg.org
  Maintainer:   Thomas Penteker, tek at serverop dot de
  Dependencies: libgpg-error
  #?0|kent:$ cat /usr/ports/opt/libgcrypt/Pkgfile
  # Description: A general purpose cryptographic library based on GnuPG
  # URL:         http://www.gnupg.org

  # Depends on:  libgpg-error

  name=libgcrypt
  version=1.8.5
  release=1
  source=(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/$name-$version.tar.bz2)

  build() {
    cd $name-$version

    ./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --disable-padlock-support \
        --enable-static=yes
    make
    make DESTDIR=$PKG install

    rm -r $PKG/usr/share/info
  }

Our C library is 

  #?0|kent:$ prt-get info glibc
  Name:         glibc
  Path:         /usr/ports/core
  Version:      2.28
  Release:      2
  Description:  The C library used in the GNU system
  URL:          http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/
  Maintainer:   CRUX System Team, core-ports at crux dot nu
  Files:        post-install

and it is configured in essence via

                --with-headers=$PKG/usr/include \
                --enable-kernel=4.9 \
                --enable-add-ons \
                --enable-static-nss \
                --enable-stack-protector=strong \
                --enable-obsolete-rpc \
                --enable-obsolete-nsl \
                --disable-profile \
                --disable-werror \
                --without-gd \
                --enable-multi-arch

He is a busy Siemens security guy i think, but the ArchLinux
libgcrypt comes on over with the same recipe?

Ciao,
