Yup.

It compiles with threads OOTB and the `make test' is running
successfully either but I have no idea how to test if it's
actually threadsafe.  Please test it first since you need it.

The only change in the current openssh-0.9.6b-2 sources from
the net distro you have to do first is, change $(toplevel)/Configure,
line 413:

"CygWin32", "gcc:-DTERMIOS -DL_ENDIAN -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -m486 -Wall::(unknown)::BN_LLONG ${x86_gcc_des} ${x86_gcc_opts}::::::::::win32:cygwin-shared::.dll",

by removing the `(unknown)' string.  That's all.

Be sure to take the sources from the net release, not the original
sources since they are missing a Cygwin specific change!

Then configure:

	./Configure --prefix=/usr CygWin32

Then build static and shared libs:

	make
	make build-shared

If your tests with thread safety are successful, please report back.
Then I will upload a thread-safe version to sourceware.
