There's one here:

You should safely be able to copy ssh-compiled stuff from one machine
to the other. Just make sure the needed libraries are available on all
nodes:
# ldd /usr/openssh/sbin/sshd
/usr/lib/libz.a(libz.so.1)
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr.o)
/usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)
/usr/openssh/sbin/sshd
It also simplifies upgrades to keep the sysconfdir separate from the
binaries, so maybe a configure-line like mine is sensible:
% configure --prefix=/usr/openssh --sysconfdir=/etc/openssh --disable-suid-ssh
Then when you need to upgrade the installations you only replace
/usr/openssh/, and not the configuration files and keys in
/etc/openssh/.
