openssh unix dev - Feb 2004 - OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 linked libs

OpenSSH (at least on IRIX) uses -lgen in LIBS. This is only needed (and
thus should only be used) for linking sshd. Using -lgen elsewhere
unnecessarily adds code and dependencies.
Similarly, -lcrypto is not needed when linking scp.

The linker should ignore unnecessary dependancies, shouldn't it?
