-(OpenSSL 0.9.5a is partially supported, but some ciphers (SSH protocol 1
-Blowfish) do not work correctly.)
+LibreSSL/OpenSSL should be compiled as a position-independent library
+(i.e. with -fPIC) otherwise OpenSSH will not be able to link with it.
+If you must use a non-position-independent libcrypto, then you may need
+to configure OpenSSH --without-pie.
 
 The remaining items are optional.
