[Buildroot] ssh-keygen seg fault

[Kyle Hayes]

I know, bad form to post a response to yourself.  I don't think I hit
a bug in Buildroot with the Linux version changing.  It was a user bug
:-)

I did a make clean between changes and that wipes the kernel config
file.  Luckily I saved it...

Off to build another kernel with the right CPU and settings.
