In Python-2.7.2 (I have not checked other versions, sorry),
the configure script doesn't not define LDLIBRARY on OpenBSD.
Because of this libpython.so does not get built.

[merwok]

I’ve looked at 3.x and think the patch would apply cleanly there too.

[skrah]

Unassigning: I tested on OpenBSD 4.5 and get other (probably unrelated
errors).

[neologix]

The patch looks good to me.
As for the other failures, it would probably be interesting to open a
separate issue, no?

Stefan, thanks for the report and the patch!

For the record: The other failures I mentioned were almost certainly
OpenBSD 4.5 / autoconf specific, so I didn't bother. Cairo has a
workaround, but I think that goes too far.

http://cairo.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.9.4/cairo-atomic-private_8h-source.html

/* The autoconf on OpenBSD 4.5 produces the malformed constant name
 * SIZEOF_VOID__ rather than SIZEOF_VOID_P.  Work around that here. */
#if !defined(SIZEOF_VOID_P) && defined(SIZEOF_VOID__)
# define SIZEOF_VOID_P SIZEOF_VOID__
#endif
