rpmbuild: skipping incompatible libXt.so when building new OpenSSH on Suse 10

I'm trying to build updated (5.3p1) OpenSSH packages for use on a number of my systems. I succeeded on Suse 10 x86 and x64, but the same procedure on ppc fails as above. What I did was take the OpenSSH src rpm from Suse 10.0, changed the spec file to point at a 5.3p1 source archive and to not apply any incompatible patches, then build as above.

Simply building OpenSSH 5.3p1 from source works perfectly, but a) this installs to /usr/local and to use I'd have to change /etc/init.d/sshd and b) I have a number of systems and want RPMs to apply, not to have to compile on every system.

I tried the same on a 10.1 ppc system, and it failed with the same error, only looking for -lssh not -lXt.

I don't have the option of updating these systems to a newer service pack, but I'll try to find one that's there already. In the meantime, any ideas?

Edit: Same thing on a 10.2 system, only when looking for -lopensc! What am I doing differently? I installed the required -devel packages from the same service patch level as the system (except trying Xt from 10.3 above) on each system!

Apparently there's two problems compiling OpenSSH on SuSE PPC PPC. The first one I don't know about, unless this should not be /usr/X11R6/lib64/ but /usr/lib64/ instead, and the second one looks like a problem in the .spec file? What does it say about "verify_permissions"?

If OpenSSH i available for SuSE PPC 10, 10.1 and 10.2 then I wonder if there's (vendor or upstream) bug tracker issues. Did you check? Did you compare the patches of the closest vendor OpenSSH version with the upstream 5.3p1 version? Does the closest vendor OpenSSH version .src.rpm compile cleanly on any of your SuSE PPC?

Building a RPM from a source tarball, apart from patch issues should not be a problem as long as the dependencies match up. That leaves installation location, which is a ./configure time --prefix issue easily corrected in the .spec file, and a usable SysV initscript you could draw in (%source) as well.
