-If you are have a problem building on OpenBSD and see output like this
-while running configure:
-
-checking curses.h presence... yes
-configure: WARNING: curses.h: present but cannot be compiled
-configure: WARNING: curses.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
-configure: WARNING: curses.h: see the Autoconf documentation
-configure: WARNING: curses.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
-configure: WARNING: curses.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
-configure: WARNING: curses.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence

-there is likely a problem that will prevent building python.
-If you see the messages above and are able to completely build python,
-please tell python-dev@python.org indicating your version of OpenBSD
-and any other relevant system configuration.
-
-The build error that occurs while making may look something like this:
-
- /usr/include/sys/event.h:53: error: syntax error before "u_int"
- /usr/include/sys/event.h:55: error: syntax error before "u_short"
-
-To fix this problem, you will probably need update Python's configure
-script to disable certain options. Search for a line that looks like:
-
- OpenBSD/2.* | OpenBSD/3.@<:@012345678@:>@)
-
-If your version is not in that list, e.g., 3.9, add the version
-number. In this case, you would just need to add a 9 after the 8.
-If you modify configure.in, you will need to regenerate configure
-with autoconf.
-
-If your version is already in the list, this is not a known problem.
-Please submit a bug report here:
