I do not know if these are critical or not, but I want to pass them along.

I am on a Sun blade 150 running Solaris 9 with just about all packages installed
and current with patches.  This is with the ./configure for OpenSsh version
3.9p1.  I run ./configure with the options --with-tcp-wrappers
--with-pid-dir=/var/run --with-mantype=cat --sysconfdir=/etc
--with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl.  (ssl is OpenSSL 0.9.7d).  configure has the
warning in the middle 

configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: present but cannot be compiled

configure: WARNING: sys/ptms.h: see the Autoconf documentation

final summary of the configuration says
WARNING: the operating system that you are using does not 
appear to support either the getpeereid() API nor the 
SO_PEERCRED getsockopt() option. These facilities are used to 
enforce security checks to prevent unauthorised connections to 
ssh-agent. Their absence increases the risk that a malicious 
user can connect to your agent.
