Not my machines, and it avoids the purpose of what I am doing.  I am
compiling a CD of clients for every platform that I can - we are 
upgrading from using ssh1.2.27 to OpenSSH, not least because of the
SSH1 and SSH2 support.
I am compiling on the oldest variants of platforms I can, and testing
on more recent versions to make sure that they still work.  I am
compiling them statically, at least where the OS doesn't fight me
hard enough to prevent this.

So you can understand what I am up to if you have a look at:

http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/CD/
and
http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/CD/UCAM_SSH_CD_05/

It would probably be best if this wasn't documented anywhere official,
since it is meant to be an internal service.  Note that this is merely
the upcoming variation of the SSH CD we produce, and it is still beta,
so some versions are still to do, like IRIX.

Good.

Sounds good, I will try to use that if I need to recompile.  I am somewhat
wary about pulling in more things than I need, in case one of the other
things upsets the applecart so to speak.

I was hoping that OpenSSH could be made aware of these aspects in some
fashion, such that when I compile a future version this problem doesn't
arise.

Thanks for your help, and thanks to the OpenSSH people in general for
writing it. :-)
