  Sorry I wasn't very clear.

  If I understand correctly, the intention is to be able to use sftp with
dropbear.  Rather than hacking the compilation of openssh, it makes more
sense to extend dropbear with the sftp feature (by stealing code from
openssh).  So this isn't really a buildroot thing, but rather a dropbear
thing.  Given that dropbear already reuses some code from openssh, I don't
think it would be much of a problem for the dropbear developers.

  Regards,
  Arnout
