I answered my own question. I guess I just had to sleep on
it. I was downloading pre-built crypto RPMs from
ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/pub/crypto/redhat and they are
pre-compiled with some non-standard defaults. This is my
lesson to not use RPMs. Once I downloaded the tarball from
ftp.ssh.com and compiled it with the correct flags,
everything works just fine.
