Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on these

Could you please provide the full output when you try to install lsh? 

It's also not building for me but it looks like it's failing in a
different place.  Carl, have you had any luck with it?

In any case, thanks for reporting this,

I started debugging lsh, then found debian has already provided the same patches I found,

then I read the following, and now I am just going to let the rest of the universe take its course.

"I've spent the evening fixing the most important issues: nettle-3 (using
Magnus' patch), gcc-5, and updated default ciphers. The new default
cipher-list is trimmed down to aes256-ctr, aes128-ctr, 3des-cbc.

Testing highly appreciated. To try it out, use something like

git clone https://git.lysator.liu.se/lsh/lsh.git
cd lsh
git checkout lsh-2.0.4 # This is the stable branch
./.bootstrap
./configure
make bootstrap
make
make check
