Is your kernel built for the Nehemiah processor? Looking at Kconfig
there is an option
config MVIAC3_2
bool "VIA C3-2 (Nehemiah)"
help
Select this for a VIA C3 "Nehemiah". Selecting this enables usage
of SSE and tells gcc to treat the CPU as a 686.
Note, this kernel will not boot on older (pre model 9) C3s.
What does /proc/cpuinfo say?
I'd assume that doing something like ssh-keygen would try using SSE if
it thought it could to speed things up and probably cause a segfault
or SIGILL. Try running with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0 and that would
bump you back to non-optimised libraries which might help.
