OpenSSH doesn't compile under Solaris 2.3 Sparc

If it's in the BSD compatibility libraries, you may have to link
against the libaries in /usr/ucblib.  Do a /usr/ccs/bin/nm on the
libraries in /usr/ucblib and see if getpagesize pops out.  If so,
you'll need to add a -L/usr/ucblib to the end of the compile line
so you don't end up with any other functions in that library.

Hope this helps.
