joyent/node — Issue #2284: wscript execinfo error for OpenBSD build
Author: coolsp

node.js v0.6.5
OpenBSD v4.9
Build on OpenBSD 4.9 fails due to execinfo missing.
This can be corrected by installing libexecinfo on OpenBSD:
pkg_add libexecinfo
And patching the wscript (around line 312):
- if sys.platform.startswith("freebsd"):
+ if sys.platform.startswith("freebsd") or sys.platform.startswith("openbsd"):
if not conf.check(lib="execinfo",

Note:
The OpenBSD build will also fail on a known V8 bug, see: http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1445
