Yeah, that'll do it.  This appears to be the underlying cause:

Do you have /usr/include/sys/types.h, and is it world readable?  On my 5.2 box:

$ ls -l /usr/include/sys/types.h
-r--r--r--   1 bin  bin  15489 Jun 23 2004  /usr/include/sys/types.h

For the record, Mark also reports that the IBM build instructions for OpenSSH
include the "-D__STR31__" although I'm not sure why.  It doesn't seem to make
any difference on my box, it works with and without it.

Hmm, it appears that -D__STR31__ will prevent many string functions (including
memset() from being inlined):

Perhaps that's something that we should add to CFLAGS or config.h for all AIXes?
