simply using the CFLAGS for the correct machine version would be a vast
improvement. Iirc the problem with ssh is that it uses OpenSSL which
ignores any usefull CFLAGS settings and thus produces unusable code.
I got it fixed by making gcc producing m68060 code by default.

with gmp you can do ./configure (m68060-linux|m68020-linux) and it
ought to do the right thing.
