It should be possible since OpenSSH does support cross-compilation via
the standard --build and --target arguments to configure.  That said it
is exercised much less frequently than the usual self-hosted builds.

There's a lot of extra things that can go wrong with a
cross-compilation environment so if it breaks you get to keep both
pieces.

Not something I usually take much notice of, but if your platform is
compatible with openwrt binaries I know they at least ship openssh
packages.

Anyway this has drifted a long way from the original bug report so I'm
closing.
