I don't know if it can help, but did you try to reproduce it on top of
the branch used by the CI?

 https://github.com/linux-netdev/testing/tree/net-next-2025-08-12--06-00

This branch is on top of net-next, where 'net' has been merged, all
pending patches listed on Patchwork have been applied, plus a few
additional patches are there to either fix some temp issues or improve
the CI somehow. Maybe one of these patches caused the removal of
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1.

I guess that's the case, because when looking at the diff [1] when the
issue got introduced, I see some patches [2] from Eric Biggers modifying
some sctp's Kconfig file. They probably cause the issue, but the fix
should be to add CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1 in the ST config as mentioned by Paolo.
