Hi Andrew,

I suspect Dropbear itself needs fixing, your workaround sounds fine for now. The configure script should probably just test for HAVE_LINUX_TYPES_H or similar and the required #defines. I'll look at it.

Cheers,
Matt

#ifdef SO_PRIORITY
#include <linux/types.h>
#include <linux/pkt_sched.h>
#endif
