Can you put it up someplace where we can look at it?  If nothing else 
you could open a bug at bugzilla.mindrot.org and attach it (using 
"create attachment").

Since port-aix.h includes "buffer.h" there should be something like this 
in the preprocessed output:

typedef struct {
     u_char  *buf;           /* Buffer for data. */
     u_int    alloc;         /* Number of bytes allocated for data. */
     u_int    offset;        /* Offset of first byte containing data. */
     u_int    end;           /* Offset of last byte containing data. */
}       Buffer;

If that's not there then I don't understand why.  My (long shot) guess 
is that there's a system header called "buffer.h" which the compiler is 
finding in preference to the OpenSSH one.  You could try "find 
/usr/include -name buffer.h" and if there is one, compare its contents 
to the "junk" file created earlier and see if it's in there.

Another long shot: you could copy buffer.h into the openbsd-compat 
directory and re-try "make".

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
