	Just solved my own problem thanks to the OpenSSH mailing list
archives.  I had to edit the Makefile and change "-I/usr/include" to
"-i/usr/include" (include the system directories AFTER the compiler
include directories) and then everything built correctly.

	The message in the archives about this problem was dated 03/14/2000.
Why hasn't this made it into the sources?

	Try rebuilding from sources.  Mine is now working great!
