Is it more correct to say that Python does not support OpenBSD?
It seems like the language should support the OS and not the other way around.
What limitations are there for Python on OpenBSD? What work-arounds does
Python have to take? It looks like it undefines _XOPEN_SOURCE.
Does this limit features on OpenBSD?

Should it be a bug that configure doesn't also do this for OpenBSD 3.5?
Although Python 2.3.4 came out before OpenBSD 3.5.

Thanks for the tip. This fixed everything and it builds fine now.

Yours,
Noah
