openssh unix dev - Sep 2003 - OpenSSH 3.7.1p1 installation on AIX 4.3.3 enquiry?

Dear Sir,

I try to install OpenSSH 3.7.1p1 on AIX 4.3.3, but I find the following
problem.
Would you please give some advices for me?

I try to configure the s/w by entering

../configure --prefix=OPENSSH_PATH \
--sysconfdir=OPENSSH_PATH/etc/openssh \
--without-pam \
--without-prngd-socket \
--without-prngd-port \
--with-tcp-wrappers=TCPWRAPPER_PATH \
--with-pid-dir=OPENSSH_PATH/var/run/openssh \
--with-ssl-dir=OPENSSL_PATH \
--with-zlib=ZLIB_PATH

The following warning appears at the end.
====================================================WARNING: you are using the
builtin random number collection
service. Please read WARNING.RNG and request that your OS
vendor includes kernel-based random number collection in
future versions of your OS.

====================================================
Then, I try to make the s/w by entering

make

The following error shows at the end.

That's normal.  AIX (up to but not including 5.2, I think) does not have a
/dev/random device.

That's actually caused by a problem in the AIX system headers that trips
up earlier gcc's, but openssh-3.7.1p2 will work around it on AIX 4.3.3.

Your options are: use openssh-3.7.1p2, upgrade your gcc or edit the system
headers.
