​So - a week later - when I'm not on-call anymore and I can look at this
without interruption.

Using http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/openssh-SNAP-20130320.tar.gz this
time ...

No extra RNG ​toolkit installed at all on this system - and make tests
always fails right at multiplex.sh every single time.
I know that HP-UX 11.11 doesn't have a kernel-based RNG by default
(optional package KRNGD supplies it, but I can't install anything new on
this box.

I seem to remember once upon a time - that while it was 'insecure' due to
the entropy being drek - that openssh would still pass make tests (with
warnings) if no decent RNG was installed.  Admittedly I haven't tested on
such a system in a very long time, but did I miss something in a release
note somewhere that says it's a required element now?
