ssh build failing: undefined sym in libkafs.a

[David R. Steiner]

I am having a problem building OpenSSH on my AIX 4.3.3 box. It fails 
during the make with the following error:

        xlc -o ssh ssh.o sshconnect.o sshconnect1.o sshconnect2.o 
sshtty.o readconf.o clientloop.o -L. -Lopenbsd-compat/

ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more 
information.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 8

Adding -bload to the linker flags yields the following info:


ld: 0711-318 ERROR: Undefined symbols were found.
   The following symbols are in error:

I am building against the following:

zlib 1.1.4
openssl 0.9.6d (compiled with xlc)
krb4-1.1.1 (compiled with xlc)
tcpwrappers 7.6

This is the output from configure:

I did get one warning from configure but not sure if it is related:

checking if your system defines WTMPX_FILE... no
configure: WARNING: Please check and edit -blibpath in LDFLAGS in 
Makefile
configure: creating ./config.status

I have also tried compiling under gcc-3.1 (same configuration as above 
without CC=xlc) and get the essentially the same error:

gcc -o ssh ssh.o sshconnect.o sshconnect1.o sshconnect2.o sshtty.o 
readconf.o clientloop.o -L. -Lopenbsd-compat/ -L/usr/local/ssl/lib

ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more 
information.
collect2: ld returned 8 exit status
make: *** [ssh] Error 1

When I add -bloadmap to the LDFLAGS, I get:
gcc -o ssh ssh.o sshconnect.o sshconnect1.o sshconnect2.o sshtty.o 
readconf.o clientloop.o -L. -Lopenbsd-compat/ -L/usr/local/ssl/lib

make: *** [ssh] Error 1

libgcc.a and libgcc_eh.a exist in 
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/3.1.  I have tried linking 
them back to /usr/local/lib but that changes nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
