#
# This change is to remove some misleading error messages when running 
# "gmake install". OpenSSH mixes the building and running together. Some 
# system setup checking for running the program needs to be removed, because
# they are not suitable in a build system.  This is for Solaris only, so we
# will not contribute back this change to the upstream community.
