cfarm216?  Already testing on that, but I need to support stuff going back
years if not decades (the oldest setup I know of is from 1998), so it's good
to have older systems still around for regression tests.

For anyone else needing to do this from a script, the magic for SSH is:

SSH_ARGS="-o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no"

I'd looked in there but couldn't find anything (make, ar, strip, etc). There's
g<everything> present, but I was hoping to test with Sun tools to verify the
ability to build on a Sun-only platform.

Or more specifically to function with Sun's interesting interpretation of how
things are supposed to work.
