I try to compile openssh-3.8.1p1 on a i386 linux system for s390-unknown-linux, 
but configure is still complaining about cross-compiling:

"checking if setresuid seems to work... configure: error: cannot run test 
program while cross compiling"

I tried to change configure.ac the way you did (although I'm not really sure
what I am doing here  :-) and also the test for setresgid. Fixed it, but now I 
am stuck at

"checking if openpty correctly handles controlling tty... configure: error:
cannot run test program while cross compiling"

How can I solve this?

Micheal: You probably just need to run "autoreconf" to rebuild
configure after
apply the patch(s).   Autoconf v2.59 is what we currently use, other versions
might work too.

Daren: I ran autoconf after modifying configure.ac, of course. But I only 
applied the latest patch from here (...which handles the zlib test) ...

Created an attachment (id=710)
 --> (http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=710&action=view)
Add cross-compile support to the setres[ug]id test

Ah, OK.  That check is only run if the setresuid is found, so I guess the other
folks doing cross-compiling are building for platforms that don't have it. 
Please try this patch in addition to #657.

BTW, patch looks OK to me.  Should probably commit this (and the setresuid one
if it tests OK).

Correction: make that "AC_RUN_IFELSE".
