openssh gives segmentation fault

[Eric Malkowski]

I could be way off here, but you're on an EPIA VIA box right?

I wonder if you need to compile for i586 as some older EDEN series cpu
models didn't implement all of the instructions for i686 compatibility.  I
would have expected SIGILL instead of SIGSEGV, but might be worth looking
into.  I think you need at least a model 9 nehemiah processor to compile
for generic i686 (Pentium II or III).  I'm probably wrong here...  but
thought I'd throw out some ideas.

On some VIA Nehemiah 1.0 ghz boards I've got, I'm successfully running
kernels / uclibc configured for PIII processor type.  If there's an
instruction the processor won't handle that PIII has, I haven't hit it yet
:)  Also -- my buildroot is only current as of August, 2005 -- so I'm a
little out of date.  I'm one uClibc rev behind the latest also, but I've
been very stable -- and one other thing, running only kernel 2.4.29... 
Sometime I'll update, but I've been enjoying stability.
