in thread openssh build with Strawberry Perl provided gcc

strawberryperl doesn't provide sh.exe (msys), so you can't run ./configure , the standard installation dance

Yes, but you could use Strawberry's gcc from within the msys shell. All it takes is:
export PATH=/c/strawberry/c/bin:$PATH
As I understand it, that's essentially how the Strawberry developers build many of the libs (eg libssh2, gmp, mpfr) that ship with Strawberry Perl.
