Yes, OpenSSH now attempts to build a Position Independent Executable (PIE)
by default on Linux, OpenBSD and OS X. This requires that the libraries
that it links against are build -fPIC.

Another way to work around that would be to build OpenSSH --without-pie,
but then you lose the security benefits of PIE.
