Maybe you should try to compile your program with -lcrypt flag , like

gcc -lcrypt -o output_file your_source.c

The other Linux box is apparently using libc5 and your new Debian is
libc6-based. There are some differences in crypt library.

Could you please reply if my suggestion was right?

All the very best,
Peter
