I was afraid of something like this. I did a grep of the entire source
code, and I didn't notice a single place quad_t was used withing OpenSSH
itself. Is there a reason why it's being checked? If not, then perhaps
the best "fix" is to just comment this out.

If a quad_t check is necessary, this configure.in patch might help. If
we eventually need to tell the difference between Solaris' quad_t and
the int64_t equivalent, do it here.

Thanks,
David
