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 
and the portable one. I don't remember the names, but if you know to look for it 
you will have no problem.

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.
