The source archive extracts to a directory called openssh.
On Darwin, if you extract the snapshot archive from the GUI, and there's
already a directory named openssh present, the system adds a number to
the directory name to avoid what's in place. e.g "openssh 2"
When it comes to configuring, the "checking compiler and flags for
sanity" fails with "clang: error: no such file or directory:
'2/openbsd-compat/include'"

Recreated the issue on another OS:
mkdir openssh\ 2
tar zxf openssh-SNAP-20250930.tar.gz -C openssh\ 2
