Not exactly, but it's not supported by your kernel. So it's not that.

Eeeww. Could be you missed something configuring your kernel, but I 
can't think what off the top of my head. You can try running strace 
on the ssh connection; should be as simple as : strace ssh -v -l ...
and seeing what it's doing that gets the Invalid argument error.
