hi,

building OPENSSH v4.3p2 on OSX 10.4.7, all's fine (config, nake, 
install, exec) out-of-the-box. so, to be clear, this is NOT a blocker, 
by any stretch ...

that said, however ...

if, instead of a don't-monkey-with-it build, prior to ./configure, i:

	autoreconf -i -f

then, a subsequent:

	./configure \
	  --prefix=/usr/local/openssh \
	  --sysconfdir=/var/security/ssh_homedir \
	  --mandir=/usr/local/man \
	  --with-pid-dir=/var/run \
	--with-mantype=man \
	--with-privsep-user=nobody \
	--disable-suid-ssh \
	--with-pam \
	--with-random=/dev/urandom \
	--with-md5-passwords \
	--with-zlib=/usr/local \
	--with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl \
	--with-default-path="/usr/local/openssh/bin:/usr/local/openssh/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" 
\
	--with-tcp-wrappers \
	--with-4in6

fails at:

	...
	checking for daemon... yes
	checking for getpagesize... yes
	checking whether snprintf correctly terminates long strings... yes
	checking whether snprintf can declare const char *fmt... yes
	checking for (overly) strict mkstemp... no
	./configure: line 16377: syntax error near unexpected token `]]'
	./configure: line 16377: `]])'

checking in 'configure':

	...
	16373	else
	16374	  { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: cannot run test program while 
cross compiling
	16375	See \`config.log' for more details." >&5
	16376	echo "$as_me: error: cannot run test program while cross 
compiling
	16377	See \`config.log' for more details." >&2;}
	16378	   { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
	16379	fi
	16380	]])
	...

stems from, in 'configure.ac':

	1406	dnl see whether mkstemp() requires XXXXXX
	1407	if test "x$ac_cv_func_mkdtemp" = "xyes" ; then
	1408	AC_MSG_CHECKING([for (overly) strict mkstemp])
	1409	AC_RUN_IFELSE(
	1410		[AC_LANG_SOURCE([[
	1411	#include <stdlib.h>
	1412	main() { char template[]="conftest.mkstemp-test";
	1413	if (mkstemp(template) == -1)
	1414		exit(1);
	1415	unlink(template); exit(0);
	1416	}
- ->	1417		]])],
	1418		[
	1419			AC_MSG_RESULT(no)
	1420		],

fyi, re: relevant (all?) my env:
