Hi.

Some results to add to the mix using openssh-SNAP-20140124:

1. System:  Slackware 14.1 (w/ security patches thru 20140123)
   Command: ./configure && make tests
   Result:  all tests passed(*)

   (*) some tests were skipped because:
       -unset "SUDO" variable
       -Slackware doesn't ship a netcat suitable for ProxyCommand
       -no setuid-allowed in regress dir

2. System:  Slackware 14.1 (same as above + port of OpenBSD's nc)
   Command: ./configure && SUDO=/usr/bin/sudo make tests
   Result:  all tests passed(*)
   
   (*) some tests were skipped because:
       -no setuid-allowed in regress dir

Is skipping the compilation of setuid-allowed.c intentional?

Finally, you asked for confirmation from Aris but I thought I'd
share I built an ssh client using libssh 0.6.0 and successfully
connect to SNAP-20140124's sshd using curve255190sha256 at libssh.org
KEX. Interop confirmed.
