I think you can use it with ssh.  I know you can use dbclient with sshd.
dbclient is much smaller than ssh.

ssh-uclibc that Steven compiled is 288K
dbclient-glibc-2.2.5 that I compiled is 117K
The uclibc version is 144K.
It probably does less than ssh but I don't care.

I think usually the Makefile looks for header files in standard places.

I did most of my compiling with gcc 2.95.3/glibc 2.2.5, or uclibc, which 
both work for dropbear.  Mplayer 1 required a later gcc and glibc.


I don't really understand how compiling works.  I read the instructions 
and download the missing libraries.  Baslinux is the only linux I have 
used.  Another list member taught me how to compile.

I have a libcrypto.a in the asmutils source package - would that help you?
Statically linked, 47K
Written in assembly language to be smaller

/usr/include/crypt.h

Also a libcrypto.a 2MB in /usr/local/ssl/lib (and libssl.a).
I also have it in /usr/lib/ssl, maybe used by a different 
version of lynx?

/lib/libcrypt.so.1
