Problems building host keys on some SPARCs

[MSCS Technician]

Hi,

I've compiled openssh 1.2.2 on Solaris 7/SPARC.  On most hosts, things
are fine.  I get EGD going, compile openssh, and I can then generate 
hostkeys as described in the INSTALL file to get things running.  

On a few hosts though, the keygen fails like this:

root at sylow:/source/USR_LOCAL/OFFICIAL/OPENSSH/ssh_client# ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
ksh: ssh-keygen: cannot execute

or fail like this:

root at sylow:/source/USR_LOCAL/OFFICIAL/OPENSSH/ssh_client# cat build_host_key
/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
root at sylow:/source/USR_LOCAL/OFFICIAL/OPENSSH/ssh_client# sh build_host_key
/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected

These same invokations work fine on most of our other systems.  

Info on the system above:
root at sylow:/source/USR_LOCAL/OFFICIAL/OPENSSH/ssh_client# uname -a
SunOS sylow 5.7 Generic_106541-07 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20

The only thing different I can see here is that the working systems
are Ultra class machines, and the non-working ones are SparcStations.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
