Sorry to report that I'm having difficulty building on NonStop (built from a
git clone at 2c71ca1). Configure is failing, run as:

configure --prefix=/usr/local --without-openssl-header-check
...
checking for sys/un.h... yes
checking compiler and flags for sanity... no
configure: error: *** compiler cannot create working executables, check
config.log ***

config.log shows a reasonable confdefs.h, but that is not written out to
disk anywhere. There is nothing informative between the confdefs.h content
in config.log and:

configure: exit 1

I'm a bit perplexed as we have not had any problems building/testing
openssh-portable on NonStop since 6.7. There are a few source modifications
to get things to build properly, but this is the first time configure has
failed for us. I don't see anything in configure.ac that could account for
this. The entire directory structure is owned by me. 

Any pointers?
Thanks,
Randall
