The problem is, that some files has to be opened as `text files'
(motd, sshd_config, etc) and some files has to be opened
as `binary files' (utmp, identity, etc) so there's no chance to
generalize the open mode.

You may have seen, that there's a difference in the implementation:

open(2) calls in OpenSSH are in general with mode O_BINARY so
this is in fact a generalization which should be easy to handle
in the ported version. For all OSes, which hasn't defined
O_BINARY, O_BINARY is set to 0 (includes.h).

The difficulty is given in the fopen(3) calls. I don't have
a generalization yet instantly. Has somebody else an idea?

Fine.
