Thanks to Lutz Jaenicke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who reminded
me (us) to check
config.log to see why configure crashed.  Turns out configure on both
SSH2 was trying to use
the flag "-std1" on OSF in the following code:

==============================
case "$target" in
  alpha*-dec-osf*)
    # If we are not using gcc, we want the ansi version of cc.
    if test -z "$GCC"; then
      CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -std1 -warnprotos -msg_disable longdoublenyi"
    fi
    ;;
  *-dec-ultrix*)
[...]
==============================

It also turns out the latest DEC C compiler doesn't recognize -std1.
Having resolved that, however,
I'm now getting yet another error when trying to compile.  Being the 5th
or 6th bug in the configure
code that I've seen, I must agree that there isn't any flavor of ssh2
ready for prime time for DECs
running OSF.  If someone figures out the problems and can get it to
compile without a hitch and
without a large amount of overhead debugging the code, I'd be pleased to
hear it.

Michael
