Thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately, I doubt that it can be possible because libssh is
required for building Codelite for CYGWIN.
About the crash of CYGWIN GCC when building the latest source of
libssh, this is caused by the "-fstack-clash-protection" option.
However, according to this issue at bugzilla for GCC:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90458

it should not be used when the target platform is Windows and derivates.

This is a bad news actually, I mean the missing maintaner.

Sincerely.
