Running the testsuite on Solaris 9 I see this:
set -xe ; if /export/home/tgc/buildpkg/openssh/src/openssh-git/ssh -Q
key | grep -q ^ssh-rsa ; then \
         /export/home/tgc/buildpkg/openssh/src/openssh-git/ssh-keygen

Try 'grep --help' for more information.
+ ssh-rsa
/bin/sh: ssh-rsa: not found

and the same for ssh-dss.

The issue is that /bin/sh is sensitive to the ^ character. It either
needs to be escaped or the string quoted.
