On OpenBSD 7.6, the following test fails:
246: AC_CACHE_CHECK FAILED (base.at:732)
This happens because we compare the config.cache file to a dummy file we
write write after running ./configure --recheck by using 'test' with the
-ot expression.
However, since OpenBSD's /bin/sh 'test' builtin only compares seconds,
the check fails even though it shouldn't.
I've added a patch adding a sleep before creating the dummy file, which
should give enough time for the check to work.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix test failure on OpenBSD 7.6
* tests/base.at: Sleep after running ./configure and before writing a
dummy file since OpenBSD /bin/sh test builtin does not handle
nanoseconds
