"You need -lcrypt" means "configure script has detected that to link some
programs, util-linux's Makefiles need to use -lcrypt linker option". This is
nothing to worry about.

Your distro's init scripts and/or udev scripts are supposed to create that
device node. You can also create those device nodes manually, like this:

#/bin/sh
for x in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do mknod -m 660 /dev/loop${x} b 7 ${x}; done
