[ale] SSH3.1.0 scp failure (a mystery to me)

[Dow Hurst]

James,
If you were using SGI's cc then I am not sure what happened to you.  
I've got a version 2.0.13 compiled under 6.5.3m that is running 
successfully on 6.5.6-17 with no problems.  It was only when I moved to 
the 3.1.x series of ssh.com's package that I had this problem.  I've 
only used OpenSSH once for a specific purpose.  However, when compiled 
under 6.5.3, that compilation is running on 6.5.17 right now.  So, I am 
not sure why you've seen what you've seen.  I can say this about most 
packages when compiling under IRIX:

You usually have better luck with SGI's cc than gcc unless you use gmake 
instead of SGI's make.

I know getting the SANE and XSANE packages to compile and actually work 
was an unbelievable headache for me.  I couldn't use SGI's cc or make 
together nor GCC and gmake.  Only SGI's cc and gmake together ended up 
working.

Now, I haven't moved the 3.2.2 package to the O2's yet.  I was working 
on two Origins for my test.
