1 year ago I spent time investigating this and haven't cracked it and don't know when I'll come back to this again, so I want to share my current findiings.
On my machine, this error occurs because the configuration script introspects perl to get the libraries it was linked against:
perllibs=`cd $srcdir; $vi_cv_path_perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e 'ldopts' | \
sed -e '/Warning/d' -e '/Note (probably harmless)/d' \
-e 's/-bE:perl.exp//' -e 's/-lc //'`The perl in nixpkgs is built with libxcrypt, so perllibs contains -lcrypt but it does not contain -L/path/to/libcrypt so the test script that configure runs fails.
I am not positive what the best fix for this is upstream, though I added the following line locally for testing:
# From above, perllibs includes libraries used to link perl. This
# can include, for example, "-lcrypt". The "ldopts" subroutine in
# the ExtUtils::Embed module does not add library search paths for
# these libraries. We prepend an appropriate search path here.
perllibs="`cd $srcdir; $vi_cv_path_perl -MConfig -e 'print ($Config{libsdirs} =~ s/^ *| +/ -L/gr)'` $perllibs"This is enough to get past that configuration failure, but the next failures are:

^~~~~~~~~So crypt.h (from libxcrypt) is needed, but I'm not sure what the best way to add this is, and why upstream does not run into this issue.
I hope that this helps whoever picks this up next (maybe it'll be future me).
