For those of you trying to compile the latest OpenSSH for the Raq2/Qube2 platforms, I'm sure you've run into a few problems. With a couple of workarounds for the broken MIPS compiler, I was able to successfully compile and install the latest OpenSSH.
1. Make sure your compiler is upgraded. For instructions see link below:
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2003-September/095814.html
2. Patch monitor_fdpass.c in the OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 source using the patch below.

--end cut--3. Replace uidswap.c with uidswap.c from version OpenSSH 3.6.1p1 source. If you like to see why you need to do this, see links below:

4. Now you should be able to run your ./configure, make, make install and get a working 3.7.1p2 binary.
