(Solaris) Linker flags in 2.5.1p1... (fwd)

[Mark D. Baushke]

Hi Ben,

I agree with Volker Paulsen <paulsen at orbiteam.de>. Use of ucblib
should be depricated.

On Solaris 2.6, removing the '-L/usr/ucblib -R/usr/ucblib' still lets
everything link and work correctly. It would be well to remove this
extra bloat if possible. (I have not tried on Solaris 7 or Solaris 8.)

PS: An 'ldd' of the OpenSSH-2.5.1p1 executables shows that nothing is
being picked up out of the /usr/ucblib libraries in any case (a
default build ends up using --without-pam, but even forcing a
--with-pam shows the same result). So it is not an urgent problem to
address.
