I did not read this patch nor your modifications, but why to write lot of ifdefs, when already the first patch submitted (and most of others used) provided a backward compatibility layer for older OpenSSL's? https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/48/files#diff-f5f8e30c 8b1505f344c9f3d027b18379 If it did not built for you, there was probably something wrong in that patch (or the compat layer missing since it is not needed for the new OpenSSL).
