package/openssh fails to build for ppc64 in sshkey.c - argument 'used' is not supported for '-fzero-call-used-regs' on this target
package/openssh on master branch (038c7df88e) fails to build for base qemu-ppc64-pseries config (`make qemu_ppc64_pseries_defconfig`). This may be an upstream or gcc issue but also wanted to open one here for tracking.
```
sshkey.c: In function 'sshkey_set_filename':
sshkey.c:3843:1: sorry, unimplemented: argument 'used' is not supported for '-fzero-call-used-regs' on this target
3843 | }
| ^
Makefile:203: recipe for target 'sshkey.o' failed
make[2]: *** [sshkey.o] Error 1

### Check-list
- [X] I did not find the issue in the existing issues
- [X] I can reproduce the issue with unmodified Buildroot from [this
repository](https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot), not from a
fork somewhere else
- [X] I can reproduce the issue on the latest commit of the branch I'm using:
- [X] master
- [X] I can reproduce the issue after running `make clean; make`
- [X] I attached the full build log file (e.g. `make 2>&1 |tee build.log`)
- [X] I attached a **minimal** defconfig file that can reproduce the
issue (`make BR2_DEFCONFIG=$(pwd)/issue_defconfig savedefconfig`)

### What I did
- **Buildroot commit sha1**: `2024.11-287-g038c7df88e`
- **Distribution of the build machine**:
- Vagrant VirtualBox VM built via Vagrantfile downloaded from: https://buildroot.org/downloads/Vagrantfile
- `NAME="Ubuntu"`
- `VERSION="18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"`
- No special environment variables
- Commands ran:
```sh
$ make distclean
$ make qemu_ppc64_pseries_defconfig
$ make openssh-show-depends
... Add openssh and dependencies to .config with make menuconfig
$ time make openssh 2>&1 | tee build-openssh-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.log
```
