           Summary: openbsd-compat wants xstrdup but it's in libssh.a
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.4p1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

provide provde xstrdup for bsd-misc.c

When building a static only openssh the link order is -lssh
-lopenbsd-compat. But xstrdup exists in bsd-misc.c (and an aix file).

The problem is that on a static only build xstrdup is in libssh.a and
yet openbsd-compat needs it and fails because of the link order.

This patch adds a private copy of xstrdup to bsd-misc.c but doesn't fix
the aix file, as most will probably never build static only on AIX.
