Compiler bug it is. I haven't yet managed to rebuild a gcc-2.95,3, but I
installed an old egcs-1.1.2 (gcc-2.91.66) and recompiled OpenSSL and
OpenSSH with that, and suddenly it all worked. There was one minor quirk:
'ssh-agent > file' no longer produced any output to <file>. However,
'VAR=`ssh-agent`; echo $VAR > file' worked fine. Go figure. I then
recompiled OpenSSH-2.9.9 with gcc-3.0, and that worked fine, and the
ssh-agent > file quirk vanished. Go figure.
So, be it officially known: gcc-3.0 will NOT correctly compile OpenSSL
v0.9.6 on Linux, but compiles OpenSSH 2.9.9 without any problems against a
known-good OpenSSL installation.
