That is correct. In the FreeBSD stable branches we know we're also
building a kernel which allows 0 instead of getpid(), but I imagine
that there are some people who will build a contemporary OpenSSH on
older FreeBSD versions.

We could add a test based on __FreeBSD_version or see if it could be
handled by autoconf, if you think it's worthwhile.
