The source RPM defaults to building for a RedHat 7.x system, and you must
explicitly set a flag specifying you are building for 6.x. This flag then
affects the dependencies and compiles nicely on a RedHat 6.2 system (and
works too!).

I.e. obtain the openssh-3.4p1-1.src.rpm file and then give the following
command:

rpm --define "build_6x 1" --rebuild openssh-3.4p1-1.src.rpm

and it will produce binary RPMS for you under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/
