As a simpler first step, you can install "strace" and/or "ltrace" and run
ssh-keygen under them and see how far it's getting...it may or may not help,
but it's a lot faster/easier than getting gdb running.
Additionally, if the ssh debian/rules file has been properly set up, you
can rebuild with debugging simply by
apt-get source ssh
cd ssh-<version>
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug,nostrip" debian/rules build
(or "... debian/rules binary" if you want a new .deb package, instead of
just an ssh-keygen with debugging info)
