What do you mean, by the "filename is set" ?

I didn't set any permissions on the files, if there's something to be
set before that, it must be something that was done by the standard
Makefile.

Not exactly, I applied the patch, reautoconf, configure, and make,
everytime I tried to reautoconf / configure, I did make clean, though
not make distclean.

Even though, if I patch the function, by making it to consider the
keys don't have bad permissions, the sshd is still not runnable.

This could be a platform difference or specific situation that only
happens on certain platforms, in this case is arm-apple-darwin, am I
right ?
Though I'm not sure what may cause that, in openssh code.

Or a problem with my built of openssl with libcrypto ?
