OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc

[Lewandowsky, Matt]

Hrmph. OK. Since I haven't downloaded 2.5.2p2 yet (and my work connection's
being flaky today...), I'll have to rely on you guys for the answers here:
What are the contents of the offending lines in the files? Also, Georg: Do
you have the full package of expr, sed, etc. installed? Maybe there's a
dependency that isn't there (Doubtful though...). And I have GNU sed 3.02 on
Cygwin right now... So, if Cygwin builds for people, then it's either a
problem with your sed or your tarball... (Or possibly 2.5.2p2...)
