There were reports of 3.7x being able to be built on SunOS 4.1.4
with some mods: http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735

Those mods were included in 3.8x, so if nothing else works then I'd
try 3.8.1p1.

Perfect! This version built just fine. Here are the dep and
tool versions I used, in case anyone else ever has to go through
this.

- GNU tar 1.11.8
- binutils 2.9
- gcc 2.95.2
- zlib 1.2.3
- perl-5.8.8
- openssl-0.9a
- openssh-3.8p1

Take a look in config.log and see why it's the compiler isn't
working. My guess would be it hits a recursive #include loop
and and runs in little circles until it hits a memory limit.

Just in case you're curious:

openssh-4.3p2/config.log:

configure:1765: error: C compiler cannot create executables

If the problem with current versions is fixable and the fix
isn't too onerous then it would probably be accepted for the
main tree.

Due to space considerations, and for neatness, I built static on
an nfs partition. The only snag I ran into was that there
doesn't seem to be any command line or config file option to set
the location of ssh-rand-helper. Maybe this has already been
fixed; if it has, and this 3.8p1 fix gets back in the tree, then
the statically linked binaries it produced could be run from any
location.

Once again, thanks for the help.
