compiling SSH for bo on a libc6 system

[Philip Hands <phil@hands.com>]

Hi,

I've been trying to compile the latest upstream release of ssh (1.2.21) for 
stable (it has some security fixes), and I came across a couple of problems.

In order to make it compile for libc5 I added this lot:

  no_libnsl=yes no_libutil=yes CC="i486-linuxlibc1-gcc"

onto the front of the ./configure line in debian/rules, and added support for 
no_libutil to the configure script.

The problems I've had are:

  1) If I use fakeroot, I end up with a dependancy on libc6.

  2) The package ends up depending on xlib6 (>= 3.3-5), when bo systems only
     have xlib6_3.3-3

1) I can fix by using sudo.
I'd like to know what the right thing to do about 2) is, should I just 
hardwire the dependancies ?

Cheers, Phil.
