This looks a bit strange:

configure:7126: cc -c99 -c -g -D_FLOSS_USE_NANOSLEEP  conftest.c >&5
configure:7126: $? = 0
configure:7126: result: yes
configure:8818: checking compiler and flags for sanity
configure:8836: cc -c99 -o conftest -g -D_FLOSS_USE_NANOSLEEP   conftest.c  >&5
   exit(0);
   ^
"/home/git/openssh-portable/conftest.c", line 51: error(114): identifier "exit"
          is undefined

1 error detected in the compilation of "conftest.c".
c99: /usr/cmplr/ccombe exited, returning 2.
configure:8836: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "OpenSSH"

exit is defined in stdlib.h on this platform. I didn't see a change in this area. Weird.

Cheers,
Randall
