In the past I have been able to get the source from the OpenBSD site and build
it on various Linux distributions. There are two sources, one for OpenBSD only

I'm in no hurry, there is some hardware here which has no newer drivers, and I
can just run the machine behind a firewall and not allow ssh in from untrusted
sources. In any case, that should get you the latest ssh.
