The problem is that these functions do not exist in OpenBSD,
yet they are used as the code is presently sent to the linker.

Again, on OpenBSD these constants are called for by the preprocessor.

Either the conditionals for both indicated problems fail to detect
subtleties for OpenBSD, or the the workarounds I had to use for
autotools fail, due to unpleasently hard dependence on autoconf-2.63.
I can not use more resent versions than 2.63 without compiling them
myself for OpenBSD 4.6.
