Generally there are a few common causes of this:

1) the build system does not honour custom CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/etc.
2) the binaries are stripped during 'make' (e.g. linked with -s, or an
explicit call to strip(1)).
3) the binaries are stripped during 'make install' (e.g. install -s).

In the case of openssh, the culprit is #3.  Adding --disable-strip to
the cygconf arguments WFM.
