Look who you're talking to.

Hmmm.....checking...checking.....checking....executing: ./scripts/build=
.sh
build opt=3Dopenssh
Ok, the host-type and build-system-type in the configure part is correc=

Question: doesn't gcc use the architecture it was compiled for, when yo=
u
don't specify anything?
I'm getting a bit confused now....
