Excuse the bad parsing of this message, Outlook at fixed width may or may
not
butcher this message badly (please send any replies and/or CC: to my work
address, Darren_Hall at progressive.com I can't seem to get Outlook to added
Reply-to headers either =( )

Btw: I have a patch for configure.in to incorporate looking for GNU C
compiler
and #ifndef the "attribute(x)", as well as check against a native inline.

I've been attempting to port over openssh to AIX 4.2.1 (and correspondingly
to 4.3.2 / 4.3.3)

The problem is "Options options" and "ServerOptions options", defined
within ssh.c and sshd.c respectively.  I believe channels.c attempt to
locally
define them within individual functions, unfortunately AIX's native
compiler
produces a more global scope.

What side effects would occur if the ServerOptions options variable was
changed to soptions?  I just downloaded the source last night, and have
been tinkering with it during the day.  I've gotten it _very_ close to
compiling
(linker complained about an undefined options somewhere), before the
end of the day.

I also have done a lot of type casting to remove the frivilous warnings
regarding (int *) != (unsigned int *).  Let me know if I'm repeating any
work done.
