Built fine & ran tests without issue out of the box on macOS 10.15 
Catalina, linking against OpenSSL 3.4.x.

clock_gettime and its various clock_id definitions didn't show up in 
darwin until macOS 10.12 Sierra (darwin 16).
The autoconf infra already checks for clock_gettime() so I added a guard 
in misc-agent.c which allowed OpenSSH to build on
There are two calls to clock_gettime() in 
regress/unittests/test_helper/test_helper.c which I just commented out 
to move forward.

The comment in the header of regress/keygen-comment.sh seems corrupt and 
it trips up ancient bash (2.05b) on ancient OS X (10.4) resulting in the 
error "regress/keygen-comment.sh: cannot execute binary file" when 
running the test suite. I cleared that up.

With these changes it was possible to build and run the test suite on 
Mac OS X 10.4.11 PowerPC (on G4 & G5), linking against OpenSSL 3.5.x

Had to configure with --disable-security-key as the build infra uses 
"-shared" for building libraries and ancient OS X doesn't recognise 
that. Will provide a patch for that if/when I get to look at it on a 
rainy day.


Sincerely,


Sevan
