[erlang-questions] Building R13B04 on OpenBSD 4.6

[David N Murray]

Thanks!

I had to do one other thing, prior to ./configure:
$ export CC=egcc
which is the gcc that pkg_add installed (it left the old
gcc-3.3.5-propolice in place as /usr/bin/gcc).

$ erl
Erlang R13B04 (erts-5.7.5) [source] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [rq:2]
[async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.7.5  (abort with ^G)
