I'd rather not reinvent the wheel but it seemed like I had to. I was able to build its three component libraries just fine with CodeWarrior 7 on Mac OS 9 on my iMac G4. Same with libssh2. I never actually got to the point of testing it though, the iMac's PSU died. :( >> At some point MacSSH may use it.

It did, but it was also in the process of switching to libssh2, so Brendan switched that from OpenSSL to mbedTLS too: https://github.com/macssh/macssh/tree/libssh2 In case anyone wants to contribute.
