            Bug ID: 3205
           Summary: Support HPE NonStop Server Port
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.3p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Build system
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org

I am working on updating the port for HPE NonStop Itanium and x86 (Big
Endian) platforms. I would like to contribute the changes, once
working, to the main repository for inclusion into the code base.

For reference, I have been maintaining the openssh-portable port for
both platforms through 7.6p1 using OpenSSL 1.0.2. The port for OpenSSL
1.1.1 was just completed and this has enabled me to bring the port up
to date. There are a few changes needed based on configure not handling
some situations but mostly the key difference is that ROOT is 65535 not
0 on this platform. The compiler we have to use is c99 but can upgrade
to c11 or higher in about 3 years when the Itanium platform is
deprecated.

The team I work on is called ITUGLIB and maintain many of the critical
Open Source ports for the platform.

Is this contribution desired?
