OpenSSH and Solaris with 0.9.6x openssl

[Lukas Ruf]

We experienced similar problems -- strange enough it works on all our
(approx. 60) machines (2.6, 2.7, 2.8) except but one single Ultra30
that refuses from generating the DSA stuff.  Lukily for us, we could
just declare this single machine to be a test machine...

We made use of the CC provided by Sun but compiled everything ourselves.
