You don't have to build OpenSSH with -static, just make sure the there's 
no dynamic version of the relevant libraries in the link path.

Well, for one thing findssl doesn't know that *.dylib might be a 
library.  You can try the attached patch for that.

As far as the *.a libraries, I dunno.  The script uses an ugly hack to 
force the use of a particular library (ie it doesn't use -L) which works 
on most Unixes I know of, but maybe the OS X linker doesn't work that way.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
