Just found the real cause of this old problem, which was (on ppc,
and ppc64, and probably arm as well, judging from an old post google
found), that adding the zlib patch to enable shared and static in
the cross-compile blew out with the following message:

Except that I'm now trying to cross-compile a 32-bit static
openssh for ppc64, and I got the same error when building the static
libz.a without the patch.
Turns out that configure was finding the correct cross- ar, but in
putting that into the Makefile it generated
AR = powerpc64-unknown-linux-ar
to replace the line that would otherwise have contained
AR = ar rc
So, the correct fix for anybody who does need a cross-compiled
static libz.a (admit it, using a static libz.a of all libraries is
close to insanity!) is to pass
CC="${CC} ${BUILD32}" AR="${AR} rc"
to the configure (or BUILD64, if appropriate)
