Builds OOTB on Cygwin x86_64, almost all tests pass, except a single
test in hostkey-agent:

-------------
  debug1: kex: host key algorithm: (no match)
  Unable to negotiate with UNKNOWN port 65535: no matching host key type found.

I wonder why sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01 at openssh.com is not in the
above list of cert type offers.  What explanation could that have?

I'm building OPenSSH exactly as if I create a distro build, using the
following configuration options:

  --with-libedit
  --with-xauth=/usr/bin/xauth
  --disable-strip
  --without-hardening
  --with-security-key-builtin


Thanks,
