The build log (https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=openssh;ver=1%3A5.1p1-6;arch=mips;stamp=1244203115) says (reordering slightly to eliminate 'make -j' confusion): gcc -o sshd sshd.o auth-rhosts.o auth-passwd.o auth-rsa.o auth-rh-rsa.o sshpty.o sshlogin.o servconf.o serverloop.o auth.o auth1.o auth2.o auth-options.o session.o auth-chall.o auth2-chall.o groupaccess.o auth-skey.o auth-bsdauth.o auth2-hostbased.o auth2-kbdint.o auth2-none.o auth2-passwd.o auth2-pubkey.o monitor_mm.o monitor.o monitor_wrap.o kexdhs.o kexgexs.o auth-krb5.o auth2-gss.o gss-serv.o gss-serv-krb5.o kexgsss.o loginrec.o auth-pam.o auth-shadow.o auth-sia.o md5crypt.o audit.o audit-bsm.o platform.o sftp-server.o sftp-common.o -L. -Lopenbsd-compat/ -fPIC -fPIE -pie -lssh -lopenbsd-compat -lwrap -lpam -ldl -lselinux -lresolv -lcrypto -lutil -lz -lnsl -lcrypt -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wsign-compare -Wno-pointer-sign -Wformat-security -fno-builtin-memset -std=gnu99 -O2 -fPIC -fPIE -DLOGIN_PROGRAM="/bin/login" -DLOGIN_NO_ENDOPT -DSSH_EXTRAVERSION="Debian-6" -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err /usr/bin/ld: non-dynamic relocations refer to dynamic symbol deny_severity /usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [sshd] Error 1 deny_severity is a symbol defined in sshd.c, but it's there for the benefit of libwrap. If I'm reading the warning correctly, it's complaining that libwrap is "non-dynamic". libwrap is currently built with -fpic. Perhaps it needs to be built with -fPIC instead? Luk, would it be possible for you to try this out experimentally and see if it makes a difference?
