*1* HP-UX 11.23 on ia64 required --disable-utmpx to build
*2* OS shipped with openssl 0.9.6b & openssh 5.6 will not configure/build \
       however, building against 0.9.8n installed in local/tmp directory
works
*3* OS shipped with an old version of zlib - openssh will build/compile/run
\
       using --without-zlib-version-check
