This makes no sense to me. gcrypt might not even be installed.

Unless you're going to make all kinds of dynamic linking assumptions, it
can't. The linker should complain that you're calling a function that you're
not linking to. The function prototypes for gcrypt initialisation won't be
present (because you don't include headers for code you don't use).
Fix aria2 to either initialise gcrypt or use nettle.
