Hello,

i'm currently 'porting' omniORB-4.1.0 to OpenBSD (i.e write a port to
make it compile 'the OpenBSD-way'), and it works fine. I've compiled it
too on a sparc64 machine, seems to work too. See
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=118457841514871&w=2 for porting
information.

gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-openbsd4.1/3.3.5/specs
Configured with: 
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.3.5 (propolice)

This is OpenBSD-current, i think it may be added to the list of known
supported oses ?

The only problem i had was the ipv6-to-ipv4 problem that is already
handled for FreeBSD - a server listens/binds by default on ipv6, and
client tries to connect on ipv4 - it fails. 

Is IPV6 support experimental or production-ready ?
Is it possible to handle OpenBSD case like it's already done for
FreeBSD ?

I can provide more information if needed (build logs etc..), and
try patches/cvs to improve the integration into OpenBSD. 
don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Landry
