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.
