Call for testing: OpenSSH 6.7

[Kevin Brott]

So results of testing ...

Conditional caveats:
1) current snapshot will not build against native openssl on any system
with openssl version <0.9.8f  (i.e RHEL <=6.4) ... requiring alternate
openssl installs .
2) openssl 1.0.1i on RHEL 4 and lower (gcc 2/3) only builds and tests
cleanly static libssl.a
    and the current patched  snapshot builds and tests to completion
against it just fine
2) openssl 1.0.1i on RHEL 5-6 can be built either as static or shared on
i386/i686 systems
    and the current patched snapshot builds and tests to completion against
it
3) openssl 1.0.1i on RHEL 5-6 on x86_64 systems -
    a) if built as static - must pass --without-pie to ./configure for
openssh snapshot to find working libraries - all tests pass
    b) if built as shared - all tests pass with just ./configure && make
tests

On all other systems tested (Debian 7.6, AIX 6100-07, 7011-03/HP-UX
11.23/11.31) the current patched snapshot builds and tests to completion
with one exception:

Mind you - AIX 5300-XX is deprecated, and this is an *old* version of the
IBM compiler ... but several earlier versions of openssh have built on this
system without issue.
