Hmmm.  Mine is from just about the same vintage system as yours, 1.4K
from end of November.  Here's what I get:

alpha1:paul {105} ls -l `which ssh-keygen`
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  65936 Nov 18 17:26 /usr/bin/ssh-keygen
alpha1:paul {106} time ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f ./dummy -N ""
Generating RSA keys:  Key generation complete.

alpha1:paul {107} 

Compiled with all the default stuff that ``make build'' gave me.  I
didn't add any -O2 or -m stuff.
