When trying to build ruby 2.4 on FreeBSD, it fails with error:

string.c:33:11: fatal error: 'crypt.h' file not found

[swills (Steve Wills)]

I think this may have been initially introduced in r55237.

• Backport changed from 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN to 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: DONTNEED, 2.3: DONTNEED

What version of FreeBSD?
FreeBSD 10.1 and FreeBSD 11.0 seem fine.

[swills (Steve Wills)]

Now that you mention it, I am only seeing the issue on 12.0-CURRENT (r306554, which is about 2 months old at this point, need to update).
