I would prefer make it in two steps, first fix the CLANG issues with this patch, I will make the tests and report to you as soon as I get the results.

I will support you. I don't have too many interest on ypbind, but I do believe to sync it with OpenBSD won't be that hard, but will cost time. I will do it in a second time, first I will check what are the changes and the impact as we are using a very old ypbind. Thanks for the support, very appreciated, I will start it soon.
