You suggestion is correct, but adding only ssh-sk.c solved the error, 
but unmassked more missing symbols, I ended up adding "ssh-sk.c 
ssh-ecdsa-sk.c ssh-ed25519-sk.c".

Now things are back to normal for me.

I attached a patch to the bug report [1], I don't have any U2F/FIDO 
hardware so I can't test that and, egoistically, don't need it, but this 
patch at least fixes the regression, so I think it should be committed 
to head.

I can send the patch as a review if required.

Thanks for your suggestion Kyle!
