I tried that already, why didn't it work?

Ah, I figured it out.

I did a "make" just specifying "MULTI=1" and nothing else (naievely assuming 
it'd build everything), then when it didn't include SMP I did another make 
with the PROGRAMS= list including scp (dunno where this is documented, I just 
read the comment at the top of the makefile).  And it did build several more 
files with scp in their names... and then once again produced a dropbearmulti 
binary that still didn't list scp.

What I _didn't_ do is "make clean" between the two, because I forgot that make 
dependencies are horked in the majority of projects in the world.  (Make 
dependencies are always horked, because make's dependency generation is 
obsolete.  They have to be maintained by hand and are seldom if ever tested, 
so they bit rot for anything but "make all" from a clean state.  Meaning you 
always need to do a "make clean; make all" when anything actually changes, 
such as configuration options or source code.)

I just forgot, my bad.
