I do not have downloaded the source from GitHub.

The patch modifies configure.ac, so unless you run autogen.sh the configure script isn't modified and that patch doesn't work. Or as an alternative you could simply manually append to config.h:

#define HAVE_CRYPT_H

I applied the patch and recompiled but nothing resolved. What else can I do?

You also need to run autogen.sh & configure again.

This seems to be a lot of discussion about a rather simple patch. What was the reason for not including it in the 2.3.3 release, given that the patch date says it is from August? To me it seems like a really simple patch that shouldn't cause any problems so I would have expected it to be included into master right away, but maybe I'm wrong there and there is some hidden issue. If that's the case, please tell me since I'd like to understand the reasoning a bit better.

The patch is already in master, but 2.3.3 is not released as 'HEAD' from master. The reason it's not in 2.3.3, is that we do not see it as super-urgent patch, since it affects glibc-2.2.28 mostly.
