Well, it says "*if* you wish to build 64-bit," which implies that you
have a reason and is aware of what you're doing.

So that we've done our job right:-)

Then why openssl list?

It should be noted that gcc doesn't support ELF64 under Solaris. At
least not officially. It appears to be working in 3.0 (though gcc
configure script won't let you just do it), but official support is
scheduled for 3.1 (not to be mixed it up with 3.0.1).

If you really ought to build 64-bit OpenSSH (even though I fail to
understand why), you have to use Forte and instruct OpenSSH's configure
script accordingly, e.g.:

        env CC=cc CFLAGS=-xarch=v9 ./configure ...

The way I see it if it's somthing for something FAQ, it has to be
OpenSSH FAQ.
