You can now build OpenSSH with few dependencies ("./configure
--without-openssl --without-zlib").
The down side is that you end up with limited crypto options (eg only
AES and chacha20 ciphers, only ed25519 keys) and no compression but it
should be otherwise fully functional.  Depending on your use case this
may or may not be useful.
