We only have hints which use cryptsetup. I'm not sure why cryptsetup never
made it into BLFS, Perhaps no one got around to it. We've had hint updates
for cryptrootfs in 2013.

Nowhere in the hints does it warn to not use --with-capabilities with
gcrypt, as well.

As far as backends, cryptsetup 1.7 can use:
gcrypt, openssl, nss, the kernel, and nettle.

It may want gcrypt by default if it finds no other backends.

Not long ago Tim had the same issue:

which he also had this, too
