If you only need openssh:
htp://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Marcus.Brinkmann/ssh
I can produce a source diff for how I build them, but I didn't
gave it further thinking about how to do it properly for openssh.

Any wvalue will work, but it won't be the best fit for the Hurd,
which doesn't have these limits (as posix allows).

The issues you were facing are not really specific to the Hurd, they are
general compatibility issues in the openssh source code. They just were
not careful enough because none of the "usual" systems you can across
needs this special treatment.
