ok, I understand the reasons. Func's crypto API is totally different
per implementation and it is terrible, eg three times is added
SHA512's code to OpenSSH: crypt(), libc SHA512 and.. from
libressl/openssl.
btw. I have had some success in porting ssh code from OpenBSD CVS repo
to musl... but _without_ openssl :)

tiring work... I think it is better to write ssh client for tinyssh
from scratch.
