If you quote the exact message you get, there's a chance to diagnose
the problem and find a fix.  Compilers crashing at random is
frequently down to hardware problems such as dodgy RAM.

Then again, in most cases installing a prebuilt packages is usually
preferable (unless, of course, there is some reason why you *have* to
build from source such as encumbered files the project can't package
for legal reasons), 

ie with PKG_PATH set to something sensible, pkg_add splix

While the original idea for a ports system and the original code came
from FreeBSD, you should keep in mind that the modern OpenBSD version
is a total rewrite and differs in various significant ways from the
FreeBSD system.  If you want to roll your own packages for OpenBSD,
you *really* want to consult the OpenBSD documentation, not the
FreeBSD one.
