These are all in the port of 1.2.3pre2:
- configure accepts --includedir, but doesn't seem to pass it on to the
Makefile. You have to edit the Makefile manually if you have include files
anywhere but /usr/include. Which is a problem because...
- The Makefile doesn't include /usr/local/include by default, which is where
zlib installs itself by default. Probably oughta be in there. Same with
/usr/local/lib. If you install your gcc to the default directory /usr/local,
gcc will include them automatically, but if your gcc is in, say, /usr/cygnus
it won't.
- The Makefile DOES include /usr/include, however. Unfortunately, running
gcc on a Solaris box, you want to pick up varargs.h from (gcc-lib)/include,
not /usr/include, or else you'll get errors about __builtin_va_alist, which
Solaris cc provides but GNU does not. I put /usr/include as -idirafter
instead of -I, and it worked for me. Perhaps check for -idirafter as a
compiler option, and use it if available?
- The man pages don't format properly ("what nroff" gives roff:
n1.c 2.13).
All the text runs together into one long paragraph. I am unfamiliar with
writing man and nroff, and my attempts to fix things just made it worse.

Same with > /usr/local/lib. If you install your gcc to the default directory /usr/local,I had a problem which might be related to this: while openssh compiles fine, when I try to run ssh as a nonprivileged user, it complains not being able to find zlib (libz.so). When I run ssh as root, all is well. This is on Solaris 2.6 (+ many patches of 2.7).> - The man pages don't format properly ("what nroff" gives roff: n1.c 2.13). > All the text runs together into one long paragraph.

Also, try rebuilding while adding -L/usr/local/lib to the Makefile. Jay
