I am embarrassed.

I think this problem was almost entirely my fault and nothing to do with the
OpenSSH system -- there is an issue with the configure system though.

At the time of initially trying to build OpenSSH 3.4p1 I was using gcc 2.9.5 --
I have subsequently upgraded to 3.1.  However, it transpired that 2.8.1 was also
installed on the machine I was building OpenSSH on.  Whilst gcc -v reported
2.9.5, this was due to some aliases and was not true of the gcc used by the more
resticted path used within the make system.  Thus the initial pass of
./configure found 2.9.5 and found all the necessary declarations/definitions,
the actual compilation used 2.8.1 which did not and hence the problem.

So although the actual error message is due to use of an inappropriate gcc, now
removed, there is an issue here that the initial configuration used a compiler
that was not used during tha actual compilation, i.e. there was a phase error
that was not in control of the user, i.e. me.

I was upgrading a large number of packages at the time I reported this problem
and basically forgot to retract the bug when I rationalized my compilers (by
installing 3.1 and removing everything else).  Apologies for this, please
forgive me.
