That should not be necessary since the command "sh" is run with
"test-exec.sh" as its first argument, and sh should source it from the
current dir.

Which make command are you using?  And are you doing an in-tree build?
 I regularly[0] test with AIX native make[1], although not out-of-tree
(ie "make test" is run from the top level openssh dir in that case).

[0] usually once per release cycle, usually shortly before the release.
[1] admittedly it's AIX 5.1's make, at least until I restore my 5.2
installation's failed hard disk.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
