Re: OpenSSH 4.9p1 configure bug

Hello,
Can you expand a bit on what "OpenSSH 4.9p1" is? 
http://www.openssh.org/ states that 4.7[p1] is the latest version.  Is 
this a pre-release/beta?
Can you also please note what architecture your system kernel is for? 
Another helpful bit of information might be the more detailed 
information such as what arguments exactly gcc was called with, which 
should be in 'config.log' after the failure.
Thanks, Matt.
