I can't find a boost/platform/bsd.hpp, but there is a 
boost/config/platform/bsd.hpp which I replaced and got the same error

Out of curiosity, is Boost not regularly tested with OpenBSD?  If not, 
I'd like to submit these experiences for documentation on working with 
OpenBSD and Boost.

Thanks again.
