This may not be a openssh problem....
If the openssh/openssl was compiled to use /dev/urandom (or /dev/random)
and your system does not have the proper path installed to support /dev/urandom
(or /dev/urandom) this is what you will see when you try to start sshd/ssh

check if this is the case:
ls -l /dev/*random

strings {path-to}/sshd | grep random
strings {path-to}/ssh  | grep random


i'm not sure IF openssh should use another methode in case there is no
/dev/random (or /dev/urandom) as openssl is the one that tells openssh
what to use (am i correct?)
