Curious as to whether something like this would be good for embedded work, as I'm working on a "modern" HP 200LX[0] running RetroBSD[1] possibly, all off a PIC micro controller (!) and want to work out how to get some form of SSH into it. Will be interesting to attempt to port it regardless of what happens though!

Dropbear is usually the ssh-server of choice for small systems:

Quick check shows that both compile to about 220K without any tuning on x86_64. While I wouldn't use that figure as serious comparison, it shows that they are in the same ballpark in size.
