There are a whole lot of options in here that were not added by OpenSSH's
configure. If you are specifying CFLAGS then it is up to you to provide
a coherent set.

There were no attachments. The list software only accepts text attachments
because of past incidents with spammers. If they are large then your best
bet is to put them on a website somewhere (e.g. pastebin).

We can't check every possible option provided by the user; the defaults
are intended to work, but if you use others then you need to ensure they
are coherent.
