[ale] Compiling ssh

[Fulton Green]

If you look hard enough through GCC help docs, there's probably a switch
mechanism that "turns on" static linking for libraries that follow it until
a "turns off" switch is encountered. The IBM CSet++ compiler had that
feature (I want to say the flags were something like -static and -dynamic).
I had to use it to force static binding of core C++ routines due to
incompatibilites btw versions of AIX.
