You could modify entropy.c, but having sshd potentially hang on startup is
probably not a good idea in general.  You could also have the startup script
wait (trivial program with RAND_status()/sleep(1) in a loop).

Most other platforms solve this kind of problem by saving the random seed on
shutdown and reseeding on startup.
