These days the chunk of code looks like:

            addargs(&alist, "%s", ssh_program);
            if (verbose_mode)
                addargs(&alist, "-v");
            addargs(&alist, "-x");
            addargs(&alist, "-oClearAllForwardings yes");
            addargs(&alist, "-n");

So it really looks like you don't need it.
