Thank you so much! That did the trick. There was no need to specify: DED_LDFLAGS="-shared /usr/lib/crtbeginS.o /usr/lib/crtendS.o" because this configuration generated conflict on '__guard_local' It seems that DED_LDFLAGS="-shared" is sufficient enough to make that symbol visible. Bogdan _

Re: OpenBSD on Ouya/Tegra3

I don't know much about Ouya or the Tegra3, but usually you'll need to ask the following: a) Can I access the bootloader? (Is it u-boot? Can I boot my own stuff?) b) Is there an (easily) accessible serial console? c) How good is the documentation? Once that's solved it's probably not that hard to

Gnome isn't bad on OpenBSD, but depending on what you don't like about linux, that may not live up to your expectations. Frankly, though, as an almost life-long Windows user both personally and professionally, if I had GUI concerns I'd seriously consider whether OSX was a viable option rather than
