fix error: implicit declaration of function 'wc_SSH_KDF'

[divinity76]

hopefully resolves #781

when compiling from git master ( 967d6c5 dated Fri Oct 24 09:44:15 2025 -0700) with

./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-scp --enable-sftp --enable-shell --enable-cryptonly --with-wolfssl=wolfssl/install/

I got:

Can one of the admins verify this patch?

@ejohnstown or @JacobBarthelmeh do we want to allow building wolfSSH without wc_SSH_KDF? Note I don't see a contributor agreement for @divinity76 . Can you tell us about your project?

I have no knowledge of any wolfssh contributor agreement. I'd be okay with signing one.

Can you tell us about your project?

I need a small SSH server on a system where I don’t have root or package-install privileges. I can run my own executables, but I can’t touch /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, so I need a self-contained SSH server that does its own authentication.

wolfssh echoserver seems like a good fit 👍

Hi @divinity76 , wolfSSH is a great fit for this! Where are you located and is this a commercial use? If you'd like to keep that information private just email support at wolfssl dot com and reference this PR. Its likely we will not accept this change.

To resolve this please make sure you build wolfCrypt with WOLFSSL_WOLFSSH defined.
