--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni at free-electrons.com> ---
This is a decision from glibc upstream, which removed those functions from
glibc 2.28. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-08/msg00000.html, which says:
"""
* The obsolete functions encrypt, encrypt_r, setkey, setkey_r, cbc_crypt,
ecb_crypt, and des_setparity are no longer available to newly linked
binaries, and the headers <rpc/des_crypt.h> and <rpc/rpc_des.h> are no
longer installed. These functions encrypted and decrypted data with the
DES block cipher, which is no longer considered secure. Software that
still uses these functions should switch to a modern cryptography library,
such as libgcrypt.
"""
So, you should fix your application it seems. Buildroot is not going to revert
this change, unless you can convince glibc upstream developers to also revert
it, which I guess will be challenging.
