How are you creating libssh.a?
.a files can be used to link with the .dll or to be static libs.

Hadn't seen that changeset (r159). IMHO it makes some things harder to
compile.

To create a static libssh.a just add the following:
libssh.a: $(libssh_OBJS)  
    ar rcs libssh.a $(libssh_OBJS) 

(the second line begins with a tab, not spaces)

then compile to get libssh.a ( mingw32-make -f Makefile.Windows libssh.a )
