Patch to make openssh-2.1.1p3 compile on SunOS 4.1.4

Hi,
For the last few weeks I've been struggling to get openSSL/openSSH compiled
and running under SunOS.
Specfically, openssh-2.1.1p3:
SSH Version OpenSSH_2.1.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
Compiled with SSL (0x00905820).
on SunOS 4.1.4.
Happily I can say there is only one small change so I'm not going to even
try to generate all the associated noise you'd expect.
The function 'strtod' in entropy.c requires '#include <floatingpoint.h>' to
work. Without it your entropy rate from the prng_cmds file doesn't get
converted into the correcting floating-point number.
The symptom shows up during the make as:
...
$ ./ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /usr/host/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ""
Not enough entropy in RNG
SOLUTION: (mine :-) Insert '#include <floatingpoint.h>' into entropy.c
Note that this is just under SunOS.

Of less importance: you need to compile with '-liberty' in order to get the
system call for 'strerror' to work.
In order to do that I need to do the following 'configure' command:
LIBS="-liberty" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openssh --sysconfdir=\
/usr/host/etc/ssh --bindir=/usr/host/bin --sbindir=/usr/host/sbin \
--with-tcp-wrappers --with-xauth --without-pam --with-ssl-dir=\
/usr/local/openssl --with-cflags=-I/usr/local/include \
--with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib
---
Finally, is there some way to turn of the debugging compile option from the
configure line? The only 'easy' way I could find was to edit the
'config.cache' and change
ac_cv_prog_cc_g=${ac_cv_prog_cc_g='yes'}
to
ac_cv_prog_cc_g=${ac_cv_prog_cc_g='no'}
Just curious.
Hope this is useful.
G.H.A.
