commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=f85665c58562a967e3dcb5f72fa8af0a606c9274
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The openssh privilege separation feature, enabled by default,
requires that the path /var/empty exists and has certain permissions
(not writable by the sshd user). Note that nothing ever gets writting
in this directory, so it works fine on a readonly rootfs.

See README.privsep included as part of the openssh distribution.
