This is odd, as sshd runs stable with public key authentication.

My configuration/build script for OpenSSL looks like this:

export CC=arm-uclinux-gcc
export LD=arm-uclinux-ld
make clean
./Configure linux-generic32 no-asm no-hw no-krb5 no-shared \
no-dso no-threads zlib -I../../../zlib -L../zlib \
-march=armv5 -msoft-float -mtune=arm926ejs -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32
make -j2 build_libs


The script for OpenSSH is attached.

No. The test programs use the option "-ldl" to compile which is not
supported by our embedded platform (only static executables).

Currently I don't have a gdb suitable for running on the target (it uses
the bflt executable format).
