There is now an libssh2 build for EPEL 8:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3681ce7474

It is currently in epel-testing repo, please give karma to move it 
faster to epel stable.

About dell-system-update RPM missing dependencies, it should also 
require libnsl.
So it's missing :
Requires: libssh2
Requires: libnsl

Actually, while the above dependencies should fix the run-time issue, if 
the rpm was built properly, such dependencies should be automagically 
detected by rpm and the proper requires would be added w/o manually 
adding anything to the specfile:
libssh2.so.1()(64bit)
libnsl.so.1()(64bit)

At least, those are the 2 missing libs I encountered on my particular 
install. But it's possibly missing much more than that.

Compare the output of:
ldd /usr/sbin/dsu
and:
rpm -q --requires dell-system-update

A nice addition to the dell-system-update RPM requires though would be 
the 32 bits deps needed by some of the DUP packages. Or even better, 
they should be added in the DUP packages that need them.
