openssh unix dev - Apr 2004 - Building 3.7-p1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu for execution oni386-pc-linux-gnu

Peter, thanks for the idea! I did it exactly as you described... and I
still get "Illegal instruction" on the 386 platform.

I also tried

# CFLAGS='-mcpu=i386 -march=i386' ./configure --prefix=/my/prefix/here

and

# CFLAGS="-mcpu=i386 -march=i386" ./configure --prefix=/my/prefix/here

just for grins, and all had the same result.

Still trying... 

Thanks,
Mike

What may be more helpful would be if you had gdb and see what aspect of
the code is failing with "Illegal instruction".  That way one can know
what the issue is.

For all we know your build platform compiler could be be inserting code
that it should not be from your environment.

Thanks for the tip Ben... after much poking and prodding, I managed to
learn that the ssh tools were receiving SIGILL from the libcrytpo
library, so it's back to OpenSSL... sorry for the false alarm. I'm still
fighting all of the packages, but now that I have another tool in my box
it should be easier to pinpoint the issues.

Thanks!
