Compiling OpenSSH client for Android (ARM)

$

I, for one, am kind of upset that we don't at least have coreutils by default on Android, especially on awesome ROMs like CyanogenMod. Can anyone attribute a rhyme or reason for this, other than "it came that way and we didn't want to package coreutils?" We're certainly not lacking the 2MB required by coreutils, but I suppose this is more of a rant than anything.

Getting to the actual point: has anyone tried compiling OpenSSH Client for Android? I'm specifically looking for the ssh-agent and the ssh client itself, as Dorpbear (sorry, Dropbear) doesn't seem to provide agent forwarding and is incredulously annoying and won't let me do my work.

How does one begin tinkering with compiling a software project for Android? I'd be happy just statically-linking the thing and adb pushing it to /system/bin. Any guides available on getting started?
