This doesn't make any sense to me. Model like the existing API which
create a special purpose channel, and reuse their infrastructure,
specifically libssh2_channel_process_startup(). See libssh2.h about
libssh2_channel_subsystem.

Suggest commandline "ssh-add -l" which will actually show the agent
forwarding being used.

Move this call to much later..

So that you do not need these very ugly loops!

In fact, there is no reason at all to set non-blocking in this
example. It makes the code very ugly and is completely unneccessary.

Another ugly loop. Please get rid of all of them.
