When attempting to compile openssh 9.8 from the source code while
following the instructions found here 

- https://www.openssh.com/openbsd.html

Each step completes successfully but when running the following command

# make

the following errors are the result

cc: error: unknown argument: '-fret-clean'
*** Error 1 in ssh (<sys.mk>:87 'ssh.o')
*** Error 2 in /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh (<bsd.subdir.mk>:48 'all':

--- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at dtucker.net> ---
-fret-clean is a new compiler option introduced after OpenBSD 7.5. 
Arguably we should not have included it in a tarball intended at least
partially for 7.5.  You can work around this by commenting it out in
Makefile.inc, eg:

.if ${MACHINE} == "amd64"
#CFLAGS+=       -fret-clean
.endif

Sincere thanks for such a quick response.

Your instructions above provided the solution that our team needed and
resolved all of our issues ie after completing the compilation process

gw-fw000# ssh -V
OpenSSH_9.8, LibreSSL 3.9.0
gw-fw000# sshd -V
OpenSSH_9.8, LibreSSL 3.9.0

Again, many thanks.
