Testing it out more and it seems like the current change is fine in that
regard.

I was building it against an OpenBMC image which include the change and the
header and libssh.a files doesn't show up in the image itself

```
./tmp/work/izumi-openbmc-linux-gnueabi/obmc-phosphor-image
```
doesn't have those files. I believe that's what we are looking for?
