Well, something seems to want pthreads.  What's in libcrypto.pc in the
OpenSSL you're using?

> OpenSSH here is being compiled with no shared libraries, therefore OpenSSH build (binary) does not look for 3rd  party libraries (zlib and openssl) but only refers to OS libs  libc.a and libpthread.a (this was done in order to do not depend on a specific system' installed OpenSSL package).

> Looks like the error message is misleading to claim "libcrypto" while in fact "configure" either can't find "libpthread" or - which sounds more realistic - can't find "libcrypto" w/o mentioning "--with-libs=-lpthread" option. Again, this case is for OpenSSH compiling with no shared libs, the "libcrypto.a" contains the object files which are statically linked to the binary.

Something odd is going on.  Could you please send me config.log from
the case where it fails to find libcrypto?  (it's big so off list
either direct to me or by making it available somewhere)?

usually comes from bad judgement.
