It has been pointed out that some of the tests in configure don't work when cross compiling. I have a patch (against -current) which I will attach but I can't test it. If anyone cross-compiling openssh can test it it would be appreciated.
Created attachment 977 [details] Replace AC_TRY_RUN with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE Patch against -current. Will need to run "autoreconf" (autoconf 2.59 or higher) before rerunning configure.

Other than that, the patch looks good. I can't test cross compile, but replaceing some of the obsolete macros is worth doing.
