> Building gmp did the trick!

Ah, glad to hear it.

If you were building ssh out of pkgsrc, you might send-pr the problem,
noting that it requires gmp but didn't build it for you automatically.

(``/usr/sbin/pkg_info ssh'' on my system fails to mention depending upon
the gmp package.  I don't know if that's because the version that I built
from had a self-contained gmp implementation, or if it just failed to note
the dependancy---these pkgsrc dependancies are, I gather, written by
hand...  If I were feeling thorough, I'd delete ssh & gmp packages, then
try to build ssh...(^&)
