            Bug ID: 3814
           Summary: incorrect signature when ssh'ing to an AIX server (Big
                    Endian) from amd64 (Little endian)
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 10.0p1
          Hardware: PPC64
                OS: AIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: jfp at clearfield.com

The client is Debian sid, using the manually compiled upstream
openssh-10.0p1 against an AIX server running OpenSSH_9.9

Got the following error:
ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to XX.XX.XX.XX port 22: incorrect
signature

If I delete the entry in the known_hosts I get the additional:
debug2: ssh_ed25519_verify: crypto_sign_ed25519_open failed: -1
