It appears that the redhat/openssh.spec has not been updated to account for the
removal of slogin from the build. This breaks rpmbuild.
Specifically lines 361 and 362 still have the following:
%attr(-,root,root) %{_bindir}/slogin
%attr(-,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/slogin.1*

I can't think of any good reason to break backward compatibility with existing installations. The Cygwin and Fedora distros now maintain fixed spec files creating the symlinks by themselves for the time being.

Adapting is just s/slogin/ssh/ in scripts with 100% backwards-compatibility. If downstreams want to maintain a symlink in their scripts then that's naturally fine though. -d
