Hello!

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

I was having a problem with 2.3.0 ssh on a SGI (Irix 5.3), so I upgraded to
2.4.0.

Compile problem:  in all the Makefiles,

CFLAGS = -g -O2    <--- didn't cause optimization, so I changed
                        it to CFLAGS = -O2

I also got a...

..snip..
for d in sshutil zlib sshmath sshreadline sshapputil sshcrypt sshproto sshsession 
sshpgp sshfilexfer; do (cd $d && make includes); done
No suffix list.
No suffix list.
make: file `Makefile' line 137: Must be a separator (: or ::) for rules (bu39)
make: file `Makefile' line 137: Must be a separator (: or ::) for rules (bu39)
..snip..

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem with 2.3.0 : using a ssh client running under Windows
from Cygwin, whenever I tried to use ssh to gryphon (an Irix 5.3
SGI) I got

Disconnection: Bad packet length 1397966893.

At a raw guess, without investigating the code, it looks to me like an endian
problem.  The SGI is big-endian, the PC is little-endian.  The Cygwin client
does contact another little-endian Unix just fine (a DEC box).  Since that
little-endian Unix box (uses v2.3.0) contacts the big-endian SGI just fine,
I suspect that the problem lies in the Cygwin port.

Upgrading the SGI's ssh to 2.4.0 did not fix the problem.
