Hmm, we cannot do that without taking the dependencies on linux-pam into
consideration:

config BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSH
        bool "openssh"
        depends on BR2_USE_MMU # fork()

..

config BR2_PACKAGE_REFPOLICY
        bool "refpolicy"
        depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS # libsepol
        depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GCC_AT_LEAST_5 # libsepol
        depends on BR2_HOST_GCC_AT_LEAST_5 # host-setools -> host-libsepol

..

config BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_PAM
        bool "linux-pam"
        depends on BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE
        depends on BR2_USE_WCHAR
        depends on !BR2_STATIC_LIBS
        depends on BR2_USE_MMU # fork()
        depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GCC_AT_LEAST_4_9 # C11/stdatomic.h

So there is no guarantee that locale, wchar and !static are
available. You either need to propagate these dependencies to openssh if
the standard refpolicy is used or only select if they are / display a
warning otherwise.
