-The default C++ compiler that comes with OpenBSD 5.9 is g++ 4.2. This version is old (from 2007), and is not able to compile the current version of Bitcoin Core, primarily as it has no C++11 support, but even before there were issues. So here we will be installing a newer compiler.

-### Building boost
-
-Do not use `pkg_add boost`! The boost version installed thus is compiled using the `g++` compiler not `eg++`, which will result in a conflict between `/usr/local/lib/libestdc++.so.XX.0` and `/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.XX.0`, resulting in a test crash:

 ### Building BerkeleyDB
 
 BerkeleyDB is only necessary for the wallet functionality. To skip this, pass `--disable-wallet` to `./configure`.

 ------------------------------
 
-WARNING: This is outdated, needs to be updated for OpenBSD 6.0 and re-tried.
-
-Using a newer g++ results in linking the new code to a new libstdc++.
-Libraries built with the old g++, will still import the old library.
-This gives conflicts, necessitating rebuild of all C++ dependencies of the application.
-
-With clang this can - at least theoretically - be avoided because it uses the
-base system's libstdc++.

 ```bash
-pkg_add llvm boost
-```

 ./configure --disable-wallet --with-gui=no CC=clang CXX=clang++
-gmake
+gmake # use -jX here for parallelism
+gmake check

-However, this does not appear to work. Compilation succeeds, but link fails
-with many 'local symbol discarded' errors:

-There is no known workaround for this.
