At start, I began on my own, without any howto, but as I couldn't get
compilation working I tried to find some help. Thank for your advice, I

Good question :-) I just did my latest test with them to try to
understand compilation problems. But of course, I should use
TARGET=i686-pc-openbsd3.7

Thanks for all.
