SNAP 20010209 fails to compile sftp on Slackware

[Gary E. Miller]

Yo All!

openssh-SNAP-20010209.tar.gz fails to compile on Slackware.  Patch at
the end of this message.

Here is the error:

gcc -o sftp sftp.o sftp-client.o sftp-common.o sftp-int.o log-client.o -L. -Lopenbsd-compat/  -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/local/ssl -lssh -lopenbsd-compat -lcrypt -lz -lnsl  -lutil -lcrypto  -lwrap
openbsd-compat//libopenbsd-compat.a(bsd-arc4random.o): In function `arc4random_stir':
/usr/local/src/openssh-SNAP-02082001/openbsd-compat/bsd-arc4random.c:61: undefined reference to `seed_rng'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sftp] Error 1

Here is my configure:

./configure --with-tcp-wrappers --with-md5-passwords --with-default-path=$PATH

OpenSSH configured has been configured with the following options.
                 User binaries: /usr/local/bin
               System binaries: /usr/local/sbin

              Host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
          Compiler: gcc
    Compiler flags: -g -O2 -Wall

         Libraries: -lcrypt -lz -lnsl  -lutil -lcrypto  -lwrap

The quick fix is to add entropy.o to the link of sftp:

I am sure there is a better way, don't know what it may break...
