I disagree. If the next OpenBSD release uses Clang by default, we're not building QEMU there with the *working default* C compiler anymore. You're then rather forcing the OpenBSD users then to install an additional (likely unliked, since GPLv3) GCC package on their systems. So IMHO, just drop this patch and wait for the next OpenBSD release, and the problem will be solved automatically. (and the few users who still use an older release of OpenBSD will likely use the QEMU from their ports system anyway) Thomas
