Description:

openssh's Makefile does its own `strip`ping on `make install`. This causes the final executables to be stripped even when we configure OPTIONS+=(!strip) in /etc/makepkg.conf.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

openssh 8.1p1-1

* config and/or log files etc.

In /etc/makepkg.conf:

OPTIONS+=(!strip)

* link to upstream bug report, if any

It's not an issue with upstream.

Steps to reproduce:

1. disable stripping in /etc/makepkg.conf.
2. makepkg on openssh
3. check if resulting executables are stripped with `file`.

Fix:

Adding `--disable-strip` to configure options in the build() function of the PKGBUILD fixes this. Stripping is still done by makepkg when it's configured as so.

I've attached a patch of the change to PKGBUILD.
