Why would one really need to build native, the compiler host machine, version of openssh? Why even gvfs is needed for native?! For target or nativesdk the needs are clear, but for native? These kind of things really need good justifications or the whole host tooling graph explodes and build times with it. In most cases the native host target has a lot less build dependencies and features enabled because of this reason. Cheers, -Mikko
