+ If "xauth" is compile with "USE_SSP" set to "yes" it fails
+ mysteriously with an error message like this:
+
+ /usr/X11R7/bin/xauth: file /foo/bar/.Xauthority does not exist
+ /usr/X11R7/bin/xauth: unable to link authority file /foo/bar/.Xauthority, use /foo/bar/.Xauthority
+
+ The compiler seems to get confused about the two filename variables
+ used in the link(2) system call.
