Hello Brian,

thanks for the email - and for the testsuite results.  It looks as if
the majority of the failures are due to linking problems.  Possibily
similar to the -I issue you mentioned above.

Patches can be sent to the mailing list.  Thanks for building/porting
gm2 to OpenBSD!  I read the NULL issue on your blog with interest.  It
should be fairly straightforward to change mc to avoid generating
__builtin_unreachable calls,


regards,
Gaius
